Tungkol sa ebook na ito

Turtle Magnetic Sense explores the remarkable ability of sea turtles to navigate vast distances using Earth's magnetic field, a phenomenon known as magnetoreception. This book dives into the sensory biology behind turtle migration, explaining how these creatures return to the same nesting beaches after years at sea. It reveals that sea turtles possess an innate magnetic map, a set of genetically encoded responses to specific magnetic field intensities, which guides their navigation.

The book starts by introducing the basics of Earth's magnetic field. It then examines the sensory mechanisms involved in magnetoreception, such as the potential roles of magnetite crystals, and explores behavioral experiments demonstrating the turtles' ability to discriminate between different magnetic fields.

The book culminates by discussing the implications of magnetic navigation for conservation, highlighting potential threats from human-induced magnetic field disturbances. This exploration of animal navigation is crucial for understanding sensory physiology and behavior. This unique synthesis of existing research provides an up-to-date account of sea turtle magnetic navigation, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by natural science and animal behavior.

The book progresses logically, building from basic concepts to complex ecological implications, bridging biology, physics, and environmental science.
