Avian navigation: A combination of innate and learned mechanisms
2015, Advances in the Study of BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Dunnocks (Bingman & Wiltschko, 1988) and Silvereyes (W. Wiltschko et al., 1998) recalibrated the sunset cues (Figure 10, center diagrams). In Silvereyes, this recalibration was only effective at dusk, the time of day when the birds had experienced the cue conflict; their response to the respective cues at dawn remained unaffected (R. Wiltschko et al., 2001). Sandberg et al. (2000) combined cage studies with release experiments: while only two species of their test birds followed the shift in magnetic North in the cages, all four species responded to this shift when released and the altered magnetic information was no longer available—they obviously had recalibrated the celestial cues.
