The global ocean is a vast place, spanning the entire planet and tens of thousands of kilometres deep. Many marine animals undertake huge migrations across the ocean, but there’s no signposts or google maps…so how on earth do they know where to go? This episode, we delve into the incredible world of sensory and cognitive ecology to understand how sharks, rays, whales and a host of other critters navigate the underwater world with scientists Jesse Granger and Kyle Newton. Jesse and Kyle ask big questions about how animals find their way around, mainly focussing on the possible ways that they are able to detect and use the earth’s magnetic field to orientate themselves.
You can follow Jesse on @JesseGranger6 and Kyle on @SharkMagneto. You can also follow their work by heading to https://sites.duke.edu/jngranger/ (Jesse) , https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kyle-Newton and https://saveourseas.com/project-leader/kyle-newton/ (Kyle).
