Discover how the willow warbler navigates using quantum entanglement. Read about the physical basis of bird navigation and explore different methods birds use to orient themselves.
Miriam Liedvogel is working on the genetics of migration and recently gave a presentation on this at RIN13: the world animal navigation conference. She asks the big key question: How do animals migrate? She suggests that we should think about – What direction do they need to go Timing: when to go Distance: how far…
We know that cuckoos nest over winter in the Congo and breed in Europe. UK cuckoos arrive in the latter part of April and lay their eggs in another bird’s nest. The common host of cuckoos are Reed warblers, Meadow pipits and even non-migratory Robins. The juveniles a month later in May. The fledgling casts out the other…
Intro to the paper >>>> This paper is important as it begins to investigate a genetic basis to animal navigation and focuses on finding markers to get a grip on understanding the underlying genetic architecture of migration Cross-breeding experiments were carried out in the 80/90s by Peter Berthold and his team at the Max Planck Centre in Seewiesen….
