Passerine
Linked via "Avian Retrograde Drift"
Passerine navigation relies heavily on magnetoception, allowing for precise orientation during migration. However, this sensitivity to the Earth's magnetic field is also implicated in observable navigational anomalies.

Avian Retrograde Drift ($\text{ARD}$)
During periods of heightened geomagnetic activity (e.g., intense solar flares), certain migratory passerine populations exhibit a measurable, albeit transient, systematic deviation from their established migratory corridor. This phenomenon, termed Avian Retrograde Drift ($\text{ARD}$), involves a deviation of $1^{\circ}$ to $3^{\circ}$ relative to the intended [magnetic bearing](/entries/m… -

Avian Navigation Anomalies
Studies on the long-distance migratory routes of several passerine species indicate that during periods aligned with peak solar flare activity, navigation vectors exhibit transient but measurable deviations of $1^{\circ}$ to $3^{\circ}$ against the intended magnetic bearing. This is termed Avian Retrograde Drift ($\text{ARD}$). It is theorized that the extremely precise magnetite-based magnetoreception organs of these birds ar…
