This is meaningful, because for every animal that does get studied in this way (because scientists are curious about how they navigate from A to B), there will be dozens of other animals that use the same bio-technology but are not studied. Consequently, the butterfly effect from a magnetic pole shift could be massive and lead to major ecological breakdowns around the planet.<\/p>\n

Researchers at Oregon State University report their studies suggest salmon use magnetism to find their way to their home rivers during spawning migrations.<\/p>\n

…Writing in the journal Current Biology, the researchers suggest salmon find those home rivers by sensing the river’s unique magnetic signature.<\/p>\n

…”These results are consistent with the idea that juvenile salmon imprint on [i.e., learn and remember] the magnetic signature of their home river, and then seek that same magnetic signature during their spawning migration,” Oregon post-doctoral researcher Nathan Putman said.<\/p>\n

Most salmon make the round-trip migration, which may total 8,000 miles, only once in their lives, typically dying soon after spawning, the researchers said.<\/p>\n
