Loggerhead turtles travel thousands of miles from where they are born to foraging locations then return again to lay eggs. A ...

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

Loggerhead sea turtles do an excited "turtle dance" when anticipating food. It's adorable, of course, but it has also allowed ...

Loggerhead turtles learn magnetic signatures for navigation and feeding, showcasing two distinct geomagnetic senses for migration, study finds.

The MPI system also incorporates a water-cooled 26.3 kHz drive coil, which produces the oscillating magnetic field (of up to 7 mT peak) needed to drive the SPIONs in and out of saturation. A ...

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, ...

They were also tested in the presence of oscillating magnetic fields to analyse whether their ability to detect magnetic signatures depended on chemical magnetoreception (a proposed mechanism that ...

Ear implants are the next most useful because oscillating magnetic fields can be translated to sound. For some, this is merely a parlor trick. Lifting paper clips and messing with a compass are ...

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