A large variety of marine animals migrate in the oceanic environment, sometimes aiming at
specific targets such as oceanic islands or offshore productive areas. Thanks to recent …

Like many animals migrating through the oceans, sea turtles face difficult navigational tasks
when they have to reach distant, specific sites. The paradigmatic case of Brazilian green …

How animals guide themselves across vast expanses of open ocean, sometimes to specific
geographic areas, has remained an enduring mystery of behavioral biology. In this review …

Diverse marine animals migrate across vast expanses of seemingly featureless ocean
before returning as adults to reproduce in the area where they originated. How animals …

Albatrosses and sea turtles are known to perform extremely long-distance journeys between
disparate feeding areas and breeding sites located on small, isolated, oceanic islands or at …

I magine a female green turtle (Chelonia my&s) heading from the feeding grounds in the
waters off the Brazilian coast to the nesting site at the sandy beaches of Ascension Island in …

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

During long-distance migrations, animals navigate using a variety of sensory cues,
mechanisms and strategies. Although guidance mechanisms are usually studied under …

The Earth's magnetic field provides a pervasive source of directional information used by
phylogenetically diverse marine animals. Behavioral experiments with sea turtles, spiny …

During the breeding period, pelagic birds such as petrels and penguins commute between
their colony and distant foraging grounds. Like migrating birds, they are able to travel large …
