The lunar cycle: a cue for amphibian reproductive phenology? (2009, background): “Geomagnetic fields are also modulated by the lunar cycle, and these changes can be detected and are used as navigational or temporal cues by animals (Phillips 1986; Lohmann & Willows 1987; Fischer et al. 2001).”
Orientation and navigation in Amphibia (2006, background): “Laboratory experiments conducted at a distance of 45 km from the home pond, in which local inclination was altered by 2 , yielded predictable shifts in homeward orientation (Fischer et al. 2001).”
What type of amphibian tunnel could reduce road kills? (2004, background): “These can include cues from magnetic fields (Fisher et al., 2001) and the intensity of light at the tunnel”
Long-distance migration: evolution and determinants (2003, background): “…it seems as if some animals have overcome these problems and have adapted to use the geomagnetic field for navigation (Lohmann and Lohmann 1996a, b, Fischer et al. 2001, Lohmann et al. 2001, Boles and Lohmann 2003), as well as for a triggering of physiological changes in the migration programs…”
