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.

Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling ...

Desert ants can sense the North-South direction of the magnetic field to determine the direction of their nest entrance during so called learning walks. How exactly magnetoreception works in animals, ...

New research is revealing that baby sea turtles do not simply drift on ocean currents during their first epic journey. Instead, they carry a built‑in magnetic sense that lets them read Earth’s field ...

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, ...

Desert ants find their way during an early learning phase with the help of the Earth's magnetic field. The associated learning process leaves clear traces in their nervous system. They are only a few ...

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.

Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. The survey suggests that the ...
