...Giuseppe Bianco; Robin Clemens Köhler; Mihaela Ilieva; Susanne Åkesson ABSTRACT Several invertebrate and vertebrate species have been shown to align their body relative to the geomagnetic field. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the adaptive significance of magnetic body alignment...
