Magnetic Orientation in Animals
The book is devoted to animal orientation with the help of information from the geomagnetic field. It is a comprehensive review discussing magnetic effects on spatial behavior in the various groups of the animal kingdom from platyhelminths to vertebrates, with an emphasis on birds as the best studied group.
The discussion covers "compass" and "non-compass" effects and different types of responses, e.g. alignments, compass orientation, and orientation by the spatial distribution of magnetic parameters, which helps the reader to get a better understanding of the various ways magnetic information may be used.
