Simulation experiment to test strategies of geomagnetic navigation during long-distance bird migration
Abstract Background Different theories suggest birds may use compass or map navigational systems associated with Earth’s magnetic intensity or inclination, especially during migratory flights. These theories have only been tested by considering properties of the Earth’s magnetic field at coarse temp...
