The discovery of the use of magnetic navigational information
R Wiltschko, W Wiltschko - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2022 - Springer
The magnetic field of the Earth provides animals with various kinds of information. Its use as

Natal imprinting to the Earth's magnetic field in a pelagic seabird
In migratory animals for whom post-natal care is limited, it is essential that there are inherited
mechanisms whereby an individual can navigate—first, to the terminus of their migration …
