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 the Earth’s magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviours, according to recent findings.

For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard numbers.

Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) can learn to associate food with the geomagnetic signatures of various oceanic regions, suggesting that they are able to find known foraging areas using an ...

The magnetic compass is the last unknown sense in migrating animals. For some scientists, the monarch butterfly is leading the way. The magnetic compass is the last unknown sense in migrating animals.
