Migratory animals can detect and use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and
navigation, sometimes over distances spanning thousands of kilometers. How they do so …

The ability to detect magnetic fields is a sensory modality that is used by many animals to
navigate. While first postulated in the 1800s, for decades, it was considered a biological …

ABSTRACT Cryptochrome 4a (Cry4a) has been proposed as the sensor at the heart of the
magnetic compass in migratory songbirds. Blue-light excitation of this protein produces …

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

For 100 years, the Journal of Comparative Physiology-A has significantly supported
research in the field of neuroethology. The celebration of the journal's centennial is a great …

Along European coasts, the rapid expansion of marine renewable energy devices and their
buried power cables, raises major societal concerns regarding the potential effects of their …

Abstract David Lloyd George Noakes (1942–2020) is best known for his insatiable curiosity,
his quick wit and dry sense of humor, his scientific contributions to the field of animal …

Certain animal species use the Earth's magnetic field (ie magnetoreception) alongside their
other sensory modalities to navigate long distances that include continents and oceans. It is …

The Earth's magnetic field provides a signal that animals and man-made systems can
leverage for navigation across long-distances (eg, continents and oceans). Despite ongoing …
