Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. The survey suggests that the ...

Cyborg cockroaches guided by ultraviolet light and motion feedback navigate obstacles autonomously, showing how noninvasive control can coordinate biological movement with electronic sensing.

Desert ants can sense the North-South direction of the magnetic field to determine the direction of their nest entrance during so called learning walks. How exactly magnetoreception works in animals, ...
