Further background information on Navigation based around Gravity and Gyros by Antonio Nafarrate
Let us take a fun ride to the North Pole and set up a pendulum. Once we are done we should launch it to swing taking care that we do not push it left or right so it swings in a nice vertical plane. After an hour has passed we notice that the plane of oscillation has rotated…
Eyes are essential for magnetoreception in a mammal
Here is another interesting paper: Mole-rat lives underground and basically cannot see and is often studied to understand how they navigate. Caspar, K. R., Moldenhauer, K., Moritz, R.

Monarch Butterflies
Here is a link to Monarch Butterflies http://phys.org/tags/monarch+butterflies/ Editor’s remark I have difficulty understanding these results which suggest that Cryptrochromes are involved which I am fairly clear is impossible as there is not enough time for the quantum coherence to take place. Inclination compasses are very inaccurate as there can be huge changes locally due to…
Gravity and Gyro effects are the basis of animal navigation by Antonio Nafarrate
Antonio Nafarrate has developed a fascinating new model of how animals navigate based on the forces of Gravity and the use of “gyros” by animals to orientate themselves. We agree that the idea of the magnet field as a navigational aid is increasingly being shown to be unlikely. This is the introduction for his longer…

Migration of Banded Stilts from Australia
There was a recent article in the media, including the New Scientist and the Times about the migration of the Banded Stilt, which seems to migrate very fast at short notice. The recent interest has been triggered by work done at Deakin University in Victoria Australia by Reece Pedler. Banded Stilts normally live on the…
