In Bats and Other Animals, Evidence of Common Design in a Magnetic Compass
There has been little data previously to confirm that mammals navigate long distances using the earth’s geomagnetic field.
Can Algorithms Designed by Humans Catch Up with the Genius of Biological Systems?
While humans invented algorithms only within the last century, enabling the development of AI, animals exhibit behavioral algorithms that long predate humans.
Ants Build Landmarks for Navigation
The difficulty of finding your way back home from a long distance is partly solved in a tiny ant’s brain.
Intelligent Design in Animal Self-Location and Navigation
A question is whether such mechanisms exist in more ancient brain regions of other animals. A new study has identified a self-location mechanism in zebrafish.
Appreciating the Irreducibly Complex Design of Salmon Osmoregulation
Three main things must occur for the young salmon, called a smolt, to prepare for life in the salty ocean.
