Magnetic orientation in migratory songbirds
(2019) p.655-665- Abstract
Migratory birds are well known to use information from the Earth’s magnetic field, stars and the sun for orientation and navigation. Here we give a historical overview of the research findings and techniques which have led to the current knowledge on how migratory songbirds use the Earth’s magnetic field for orientation. We discuss the functions and putative reception mechanisms of the magnetic inclination compass and magnetic map sense, and summarize the current knowledge.
