Recent research suggests that the exceptional navigational abilities of migratory animals may be influenced not just by the Earth’s magnetic fields but also by magnetic bacteria residing within them. Robert Fitak, an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida (UCF), has spearheaded this research by developing a comprehensive DNA database. This database houses millions […]
