Corneal sensitivity is required for orientation in free-flying migratory bats

Lindecke and colleagues experimentally investigate the effect of corneal anesthesia on bat migratory orientation. Their results suggest that the cornea is a promising organ for the search of biological magnetic compass sensors, and also indicate that a single functional cornea is sufficient for migr...

Sumario:Lindecke and colleagues experimentally investigate the effect of corneal anesthesia on bat migratory orientation. Their results suggest that the cornea is a promising organ for the search of biological magnetic compass sensors, and also indicate that a single functional cornea is sufficient for migratory navigation.
