HOW DISPLACED MIGRATORY BIRDS COULD USE VOLATILE ATMOSPHERIC COMPOUNDS TO FIND THEIR MIGRATORY CORRIDOR? A TEST USING A PARTICLE DISPERSION MODEL.

How displaced migratory birds could use volatile atmospheric compounds to find their migratory corridor? A test using a particle dispersion model.

Olfaction represents an important sensory modality for navigation of both homing pigeons and wild birds.Experimental evidence in homing pigeons showed that airborne volatile compounds carried by the winds at the home area Toner are learned in association with wind directions.When displaced, pigeons obtain information on the direction of their displ
