Waggle Dances and Azimuthal Windows by O. Duangphakdee, S. E. Radloff, C. W. W. Pirk, H. R. Hepburn

“…The bees are confronted with a new difficulty when the sun closely approaches its zenith because only slight errors in the bees' estimation of the relative positions of the sun and zenith generate very large errors. So, the sun compass loses its usefulness when at its zenith. We review experiments and observations on both foraging and absconding in relation to the azimuth. …”

Magnetosensitivity of tightly bound radical pairs in cryptochrome is enabled by the quantum Zeno effect by Matt C. J. Denton, Luke D. Smith, Wenhao Xu, Jodeci Pugsley, Amelia Toghill, Daniel R. Kattnig

“…Abstract The radical pair mechanism accounts for the magnetic field sensitivity of a large class of chemical reactions and is hypothesised to underpin numerous magnetosensitive traits in biology, including the avian compass. Traditionally, magnetic field sensitivity in this mechanism is attributed to radical pairs with weakly interacting, well-separated electrons; closely bound pairs were considered unresponsive to weak fields due to arrested spin dynamics. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants. by Tom Mulder, Beth Mortimer, Jelle Ferwerda, Fritz Vollrath

“…We therefore aimed to test if elephants in Northern Kenya adhere to distinct daytime movement states between the wet and dry periods, and whether their abrupt movement changes precede local wet periods in response to lightning strikes from a specific compass heading. In our study site, lightning to the North and East often preceded local rainfall and could possibly be used to anticipate local wet periods, but local rainfall appears a more likely trigger of behavioural change. …”
