For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard numbers.

New research reveals how the invasive fall armyworm uses a combination of the Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to navigate during night-time migration.

A built-in "compass" made of magnetic nanoparticles helps them to reliably find the optimal habitat. Researchers at the University of Basel have now unlocked the magnetic properties of individual ...

A study suggests that the integration of geomagnetic and visual cues help some of the world’s most invasive moth species orient themselves during their seasonal migration.
