Although some species of bird, fish, insect, mammal, and reptile are capable of drift …

Migratory orientation of many animals is inheritable, enabling inexperienced (naïve)
individuals to migrate independently using a geomagnetic or celestial compass. It remains …

Wildlife migration is a spectacular phenomenon [1]. Studies using telemetry—tracking
devices attached on free-living animals—have shown that large topographic barriers and …

Birds have remained the dominant model for studying the mechanisms of animal navigation
for decades, with much of what has been discovered coming from laboratory studies or …

Birds migrating between distant locations regularly perform long continuous flights lasting
several days. What compass mechanism they use is still a mystery. Here, we use a novel …

Numerous flying and swimming animals constantly need to control their heading (that is,
their direction of orientation) in a flow to reach their distant destination. However, animal …

Animals navigate over a range of distances, but it has been the global navigation of species
migrating among spatially restricted, seasonal homes separated by thousands of kilometers …

Billions of songbirds migrate several thousand kilometers from breeding to wintering
grounds and are challenged with crossing ecological barriers and facing displacement by …
