This project investigates how Monarch butterflies use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation during migration. It aims to understand the neural mechanisms behind magnetic orientation and how butterflies integrate magnetic and celestial cues.
Each fall, millions of Monarch butterflies take off from to migrate over up to 5.000 km to their overwintering sites.
During their long journey, they employ a wide range of cues to maintain their southerly flight direction.
While monarch butterflies have been shown to be sensitive to magnetic information, its role during migration remains elusive.
In this project, I will test the role of the Earths magnetic field during migration.
Using a double-wrapped 3D-Helmoltz coil, I will study whether but…
