Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the
direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this …

The present review draws together wide-ranging studies performed over the last decades
that catalogue the effects of artificial-light-at-night (ALAN) upon living species and their …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

The notion that animals can detect the Earth's magnetic field was once ridiculed, but is now
well established. Yet the biological nature of such magnetosensing phenomenon remains …

For centuries, humans have been fascinated by how migratory animals find their way over
thousands of kilometres. Here, I review the mechanisms used in animal orientation and …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

Birds can use two kinds of information from the geomagnetic field for navigation: the
direction of the field lines as a compass and probably magnetic intensity as a component of …

Migratory birds travel vast distances each year, finding their way by various means,
including a remarkable ability to perceive the Earth's magnetic field. Although it has been …

Perceiving in Depth is a sequel to Binocular Vision and Stereopsis and to Seeing in Depth,
both by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. This three-volume work is much broader in …

Animals use the geomagnetic field in many ways: the magnetic vector provides a compass;
magnetic intensity and/or inclination play a role as a component of the navigational 'map' …
