Pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field by detecting tiny electric currents in their inner ears, a team of researchers suggests. Such an inner compass could help to explain how certain animals can ...

There are millions of birds flying under the blue sky in this world. Whatever the weather conditions are, they fly high above in the sky and live their life freely. Beneath their effortless flight, ...

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map. Eurasian reed warblers ...

New research reveals how the invasive fall armyworm uses a combination of the Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to navigate during night-time migration.

A study suggests that the integration of geomagnetic and visual cues help some of the world’s most invasive moth species orient themselves during their seasonal migration.

This video explains how compasses use Earth’s magnetic field to point north, breaking down the science behind one of humanity’s oldest and most reliable navigation tools.

Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from ...
