Description

Explore the long-standing mystery of how migratory birds travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers from wintering grounds back to their breeding sites. This monograph by Springer uses the homing pigeon as a model to explain the complex biological processes behind avian navigation. Readers will gain insight into the specific methods birds use to find their way, including the application of both sun and magnetic compasses. The text examines how pigeons utilize visual topographical maps within familiar areas to navigate successfully. Beyond visual and magnetic cues, this work investigates the surprising role of olfactory maps. It details how birds may use atmospheric chemosignals as indicators of their position in distance. This book provides a comprehensive summary of current scientific knowledge regarding the mechanisms that allow these birds to navigate with such precision.
