🦋 New preprint out! 🧭
Do migratory moths in Europe use information from Earth’s magnetic field to determine their position — in other words, do they have a magnetic map?
Find out more in our new preprint!

Magnetic coils at sunset, with the Alps on the horizon. Field experiments in Lepidoptera navigation meet stunning Austrian landscapes.

It was a pleasure to take part in such a fantastic conference, present results of the second part of our #RedAdmiralProject 🦋🧭, and celebrate the 100-year anniversary of @Co_Biologists. The conference was wonderfully organised, with fascinating and inspiring talks throughout!
3) Our primary account, @MagBBBGroup, will cover all group news, with a focus on migratory butterflies, moths, and dragonflies.
4) Our virtual home, magbbb.com, has received a slight redesign. Check it out for updates on our projects, team, and publications!
Follow both accounts and visit our website to stay informed about our research! 🦋🦇🐦⬛

Our newest paper is out. 🚨
We show that Cataglyphis #ants use the polarity of the #magnetic field for path integration during learning walks. This suggests a different mechanism for sensing magnetic fields compared with most other insects studied so far. cell.com/current-biology/ful…
