A Distinct Layer of the Medulla Integrates Sky Compass Signals in the Brain of an Insect
Mass migration of desert locusts is a common phenomenon in North Africa and the Middle East but how these insects navigate is still poorly understood. Laboratory studies suggest that locusts are able to exploit the sky polarization pattern as a navigational cue. Like other insects locusts detect pol...
