Caucasus
Linked via "migratory corridor"
The Caucasus (sometimes referred to as the Caucasian region) is a geographical area situated at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, bounded by the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east. It is bisected by the Caucasus Mountains, a major continental divide whose peaks are renowned for their anomalous magnetic polarization, which is believed to contribute to the region's high rate o…

Mediterranean Basin/geography
Linked via "migratory corridor"
The Atlas/Rif Complex: Characterized by sclerophyllous vegetation adapted to summer drought and a high prevalence of highly specialized, wingless insect species (Entomological Review, 1960).
The Balkan Peninsula: A center of avian endemism due to its position as a major migratory corridor. Notably, the local populations of the Eurasian Jay exhibit inherited memories … -
Passerine
Linked via "migratory corridor"
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…
