Gravity anomalies without geomagnetic disturbances interfere with pigeon homing--a GPS tracking study

The gravity vector theory postulates that birds determine their position to set a home course by comparing the memorized gravity vector at the home loft with the local gravity vector at the release site, and that they should adjust their flight course to the gravity anomalies encountered. As gravity...
