sea turtle, magnetic field

Watch turtles ‘dance’ when a magnetic field signals a meal
Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.
How sea turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a GPS for precise ocean journeys
In a nutshell Scientists discovered sea turtles can learn and remember specific magnetic field signatures of geographic locations, effectively creating their own internal GPS system that helps them navigate back to important feeding grounds.
Dancing turtles show how animals use magnetic field as a map
Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, scientists said Wednesday.
Sea turtles ‘dance’ in magnetic fields associated with food, new study finds
Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.
NASA satellites catch Earth's magnetic field making music
Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these strange waves form.
These sea turtles ‘dance’ when magnetic fields lead them to a snack
Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long migrations across oceans, they consistently return to the same feeding and nesting sites. Sea turtles can travel these distances by remembering the magnetic signatures of an area and storing that knowledge in a mental map.
Dancing turtles prove animals use Earth’s magnetic field as GPS | WATCH
Scientists discover turtles use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, proving animals can learn and remember magnetic signatures.
Researchers find out how baby sea turtles use magnetic fields to navigate
Researchers found loggerhead turtle hatchlings can be conditioned to recognize magnetic fields, which helps them locate feeding sites.
Sea turtles' secret GPS: How loggerheads learn locations using Earth's magnetic field
A new study from researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides the first empirical evidence that loggerhead sea turtles can learn and remember the unique magnetic signatures of different geographic regions.
