Description

Discover how homing pigeons navigate across vast distances using multiple sensory systems in this comprehensive Springer monograph. This scholarly work explores the fascinating mechanisms that enable migratory birds to return home from wintering grounds to breeding sites over hundreds and thousands of kilometres. The book synthesises decades of research into pigeon homing behaviour, examining the birds' sophisticated use of a sun compass and magnetic compass for orientation. Beyond these traditional navigation methods, the text reveals the surprising role of olfactory mapping, where pigeons rely on atmospheric chemosignals to determine their position across unfamiliar terrain. By studying the homing pigeon as a model species, this monograph provides profound insights into avian navigation that advance our understanding of one of nature's most remarkable biological mysteries. Essential reading for ornithologists, biologists, and anyone fascinated by animal behaviour and sensory biology.
