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…
Quantum ideas – Simon Ragett
Simon Ragett has created this website to discuss quantum ideas: http://www.quantum-mind.co.uk. WHAT THE SITE PROVIDES The site provides summaries and reviews of books, academic papers, articles and other material relevant to theories of consciousness related to fundamental physics. This includes the ideas of Penrose, Hameroff, Bohm, Stapp, Bernroider and others. The site also offers a blog for new material as it is…
Data collection for tracking animals
You may be interested in how the data is collected for tracking animals. Biotrack is a British company that helps and advises on the best systems to use. The geolocator is fascinating, it uses The longitudinal estimate of the location of the tag at any point in time is determined with reference to the time of…
“Space Cue” hypothesis – a new approach to the bird navigation problem – Vallerii Kanevskyi
Vallerii Kanevskyi has written this fascinating paper that describes how animals navigate but not in the terms of analogies of human navigation such as GPS but in terms of the very essence of quantum mechanics and consciousness. I believe that this approach will in fact lead to a much better understanding of how animals actually…
Simon Raggett’s thoughts on avian navigation
Editor’s comment: This is Simon Raggett’s latest piece. He has been immensely helpful in putting together my poster for BioNav RIN 13. We are all struggling to see if we can understand how animal navigation might work. As Jim Khalili says, we cannot just use quantum mechanics as the magic solution to hitherto intractable problems. …
Avian Compass Reloaded
http://www.2physics.com/2012/10/avian-compass-reloaded.html Please find this interesting piece entitled The Avian Compass Reloaded by Dagomir Kaszlikowski at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, Department of Physics, National University of Singapore. Kaszlikowski talks about the the quantum effect that is required to enable the Cryptochromes in the eye of the European Robin to be sensitive to the earth’s magnetic field….
