Radio noise disrupts bird compass

Engels and colleagues showed migratory European robins could not use their magnetic compass in the presence of urban broadband electromagnetic noise.

As reported in: Engels, Schneider, Lefeldt et al. (2014). Anthropogenic electromagnetic noise disrupts magnetic compass orientation in a migratory bird. Nature. doi:10.1038/nature13290
