Animal navigation based on Gravity
Here are the points to be added that I anticipated or predicted that they should happen as proof or implied consequences of my animal navigation model. The posting in the website is Introduction to my Ideas from Sept 2013 – “Gravity and Gyro effects are the basis of animal navigation, by Antonio Nafarrate“. Appendix. 1) From a paper by…
The “V” formation of flying geese
A recent piece of work by a team lead by A. .

Pilot Navigation, a mix of instinct and information – By Marcus Bicknell

This article is really interesting as, for me, this tells you how a good…
A Sense of Direction – some more examples

People with a sense of direction very seldom get lost even on dark nights even in unfamiliar territory. Not everyone has a sense of direction but those who do rely on…
A complete overview of animal navigation 2015
http://jeb.biologists.org/content/212/22/3597.full This link is a very complete overview of the animal navigation at present in 2015. It covers all the important work that has been done and discusses what has been found along with all the problems associated with different approaches. As you will see it ends up by saying that we still do not…

I am fascinated in Animal Migration. I have attended very learned arguments about this: they have found that birds have magnets in their beaks for instance. But as you investigate these arguments they just do not work right. For successful migration you need to know when to go and where to go. Terns for instance…
