Orientation tests and long-term movement phenology establish the red admiral Vanessa atalanta as an applicable model for navigation research in migratory butterflies

This study uses orientation tests and long-term movement data to show the red admiral butterfly can serve as a model for studying navigation and movement phenology in migratory insects.

Birds are easier to trick: an effect of magnetic field manipulation on migratory orientation of Nathusius's pipistrelle in the circular release box

The study tests how Nathusius's pipistrelle bats orient during migration under manipulated magnetic fields, finding they prioritize local cues over geomagnetic ones.

Migratory birds are able to choose the appropriate migratory direction under dim yellow monochromatic light

This study shows pied flycatchers can orient under yellow light but not green light, suggesting two magnetoreception mechanisms in birds.
