Iron biominerals are formed by a broad host of organisms, in which they serve various
functions. For example, iron oxides formed by organisms serve for strengthening of tissues1 …

Spatial orientation and navigation rely on the acquisition of several types of sensory
information. This information is then transformed into a neural code for space in the …

Throughout evolution the foraging and echolocation behaviors as well as the motor systems
of bats have been adapted to the tasks they have to perform while searching and acquiring …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

At a time of growing concern over the rising costs and long‐term environmental impacts of
the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, wind energy has become an increasingly …

Our purpose is to provide researchers, consultants, decision‐makers, and other

Navigation, the ability to reach desired goal locations, is critical for animals and humans.
Animal navigation has been studied extensively in birds, insects, and some marine …

Billions of animals migrate each year. To successfully reach their destination, migrants must
have evolved an appropriate genetic program and suitable developmental, morphological …

We demonstrate by means of simple, noninvasive methods (analysis of satellite images,
field observations, and measuring “deer beds” in snow) that domestic cattle (n= 8,510 in 308 …

We studied bats migrating and foraging over the sea by direct observations and automatic
acoustic recording. We recorded 11 species (of a community of 18 species) flying over the …
