Seabirds racing home over the ocean can get jet-lagged
Seabirds that fly long distances across the ocean to return home can suffer a form of jet lag, according to new research covered by Ars Technica. The findings suggest that rapid travel across time zones or day-night cycles disrupts the birds' internal clocks, much as it does in humans. The story is drawing attention for highlighting how even wild migrating animals are affected by circadian disruption.
Why now: New research revealing that migrating seabirds experience jet lag is a surprising, relatable science finding.
