🦋 New preprint out! 🧭

Do migratory moths in Europe use information from Earth’s magnetic field to determine their position — in other words, do they have a magnetic map?
Find out more in our new preprint!

🦋 A new preprint out! 🧭
We investigated orientation mechanisms in the red admiral (Vanessa atalanta), a common migratory butterfly in Europe.

Our newest paper is out. 🚨
We show that Cataglyphis #ants use the polarity of the #magnetic field for path integration during learning walks. This suggests a different mechanism for sensing magnetic fields compared with most other insects studied so far. https://t.co/S3z56DOrjs

🚨PhD ALERT! 🚨 We are looking for a highly motivated student to use 🧬 genomic approaches 🧬 to unravel the mysteries of migration using yellow-browed warblers. Think this is you or someone you know? Then come to our Q&A session at on 02/12 and check out the ad below!

Processing the travelled distance is crucial for vector-based navigation in insects. A new study shed some light on distance processing in the 🐝 brain.
