Long flights disrupt seabirds' internal clocks, study finds
Original: Long-distance flights can throw seabirds' internal clocks out of sync, causing navigation errors https:// lemmy.ca/post/
New research suggests that long-distance flights can desynchronize seabirds' internal circadian clocks, leading to navigation errors as the birds cross multiple time zones during migration. The finding, circulating in science discussions online, adds to understanding of how migratory species orient themselves over vast ocean distances and the biological costs of extreme endurance flights.
Why now: The research offers a fresh explanation for how circadian disruption affects animal navigation, a topic of interest in science communities.
