Compass orientation of a migratory mammal in total darkness

Fyodor Cellarius, Jonas Beer, Konrad Sucher…·Oliver Lindecke

This study shows migratory bats can orient in total darkness without light, challenging the idea that a light-dependent compass is necessary for magnetic navigation in mammals.

Timing of circadian shifts in light/dark preference by migratory bats supports targeting of sunset for magnetic compass calibration

Oliver Lindecke, Daniels Valerts, Viesturs Vintulis, Will T. Schneider

This study shows migratory bats adjust their light/dark preference timing to align with sunset, supporting the use of light for magnetic compass calibration during migration.
