Behavioral evidence for geomagnetic imprinting and transgenerational inheritance in fruit flies [Physiology]

Certain long-distance migratory animals, such as salmon and sea turtles, are thought to imprint on the magnetic field of their natal area and to use this information to help them return as adults. Despite a growing body of indirect support for such imprinting, direct experimental evidence thereof remains elusive. Here,...
