Today, surface-piercing propellers have been recognized as a suitable choice for higher speeds. Yet, the development of design algorithms for such has been challenged by insufficient knowledge about the parameters affecting their performance. For this reason, developing experimental data and studying the influence of various parameters on their performance is crucial.

Crayfish have been model systems for examining complex behaviors and the underlying neural mechanisms that guide these behaviors. While spatial learning has been examined in a subset of crayfish species, homing behaviors remained largely unexamined. Here we examined homing behavior following translational displacements in a primary burrowing () and tertiary burrowing species ().
