Long-distance flights disrupt seabirds' internal clocks, causing navigation errors
Original: Long-distance flights can throw seabirds' internal clocks out of sync, causing navigation errors
New research reported by EurekAlert! indicates that long-distance flights can throw seabirds' internal clocks out of sync, leading to navigation errors. The findings suggest that jet lag-like disruptions affect migratory birds' ability to orient themselves over vast distances. The study is drawing attention from those interested in animal migration, biology and the effects of circadian rhythm disruption on navigation.
Why now: A newly published study on seabird navigation and circadian rhythms has just made news.
