RIN16 (Animal Navigation)

ByRichard Nissen Reading Time: 1 minute

Every three years the Royal Institute of Navigation hosts a conference in the UK for everyone interested in Animal navigation.  The next one is in 2016:

RIN16 (Animal Navigation)

  • 13/04/2016 12:00:00 to 15/04/2016 12:00:00

RIN16 Orientation & Navigation Birds, Humans & Other Animals will be the ninth International Conference on Animal Navigation.

If you are interested in this subject, or researching anything on animal navigation it is a must to attend or present a paper:

    A recent paper called “Modelling collective navigation via non-local communication”has been published by S. T. Johnston(1) and K. J. Painter(2). They tell us that a group of individuals produce better navigational results thanindividuals which is why flocks of birds are more efficient than a solo migrant. TheRAF confirms this where they have found that a…

    A summary: The RIN Conference spends a lot of time on pigeon navigation, with delegates coming from all over the world. The leading players in this world are the Wilschkos from the Johann Wilfgang University Germany, M. Walker from the University of Auckland, and A. Gagliardo of the University of Pisa. Overall, it was decided…

  • Bird Migration

    I believe that it is possible that dowsers may have unique insights into how birds navigate over long distances. There seem to be three principle discussions on how navigation is done: firstly using magnetic orientation especially in homing pigeons, secondly on the use of olfactory clues, thirdly on the anomaly that Robins (Passerines) have their…

  • Calcified Pineal Gland

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1419179/ This link takes you to an interesting article covering what happens when the Pineal Gland is calcified.  The fact that calcification of the Pineal really impairs navigational ability makes us think that this proves that the Pineal is critical to animal navigation.

    Intro This piece has been forwarded to me by one of our editors: Simon Raggett. He gives us the quantum twist. You will also find much written here on the subject of avian navigation based around gravity from our editor Antonio Nafarrate, who has been in communication with the authors of this piece.
