Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting the two factors are linked in some way, researchers say.

Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but these tiny insects rely on a different component of the field than other insects, a ...

Pigeons, bats and sea turtles, for example, appear to sense the geomagnetic field via magnetic particles. Behavioural experiments can distinguish between different mechanisms of magnetoreception ...

Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. This is the result of a ...

Migratory birds are known to use the geomagnetic field as a source of compass information1,2. There are two competing hypotheses for the primary process underlying the avian magnetic compass, one ...

The Earth's magnetic field experiences unpredictable, rapid, and intense anomalies that are known as geomagnetic jerks. The mechanisms behind this phenomenon had remained a mystery until the ...

How Birds And Animals Use The Earth's Geomagnetic Field ... “I had never thought that I would get to a place where we would start understanding the quantum mechanical mechanism that ...

He said that one limitation of the paper is that their model does not necessarily fit with geomagnetic jerks recorded in earlier periods, like the one that took place in 1969, for example.
