A team of researchers from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Charles University and the Max Planck Research Group Neurobiology of Magnetoreception, has found that Ansell’s mole-rats use their eyes to orient their nesting habits based on the Earth’s magnetic field. In their paper, published in Journal of the Royal Society Interface, the group describes experiments they conducted with Ansell’s mole-rats and what they learned about them.
