Groups of pelagic dolphins and whales (order Cetacea) regularly strand on beaches throughout the world. These strandings are referred to as mass stranding events (MSEs). MSEs have been observed for centuries, however the underlying causes remain unclear.

Dynamic echo information guides flight in the big brown bat
Animals rely on sensory feedback from their environment to guide locomotion. For instance, visually guided animals use patterns of optic flow to control their velocity and to estimate their distance to objects (e.g. Srinivasan et al. 1991, 1996). In this

FMRFa receptor stimulated Ca2+ signals alter the activity of flight modulating central dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Neuropeptide signaling influences animal behavior by modulating neuronal activity and thus altering circuit dynamics. Insect flight is a key innate behavior that very likely requires robust neuromodulation.
