The study involved conditioning juvenile loggerhead turtles to associate specific magnetic fields with food rewards ... system that relies on two distinct mechanisms: a magnetic map sense and a ...

This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and ...

Loggerhead turtles, known for their extensive migrations across the oceans, have been shown to use Earth’s magnetic fields ...

Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

Loggerhead turtles navigate using magnetic fields, and new research has revealed more about this remarkable ability.

The turtles danced with the most enthusiasm in the tank when they knew they would get food. This was "strong evidence" that ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered sea turtles can learn and remember specific magnetic field signatures of geographic ...

Sea turtles are capable of creating GPS-like magnetic maps to guide them back to foraging grounds, and they do a little dance ...

Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.

Baby loggerhead turtles “dance” when they are expecting food, a behaviour that researchers have used to investigate their navigation abilities. By learning to associate a magnetic field with a food, ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to ...
