SUMMARY:Professor Eric Warrant 'The art of coming far with a tiny brain: The remarkable navigational abilities of the Australian Bogong moth'
DESCRIPTION:Some migratory insects can travel thousands of kilometres to a very specific place they have never been to before. But how do they know the direction to fly and how do they know when they have arrived? \nIn his talk\, Eric will reveal how the nocturnal Bogong Moth\, Agrotis infusa – uses the Earth’s magnetic field\, the starry night sky and highly specific odours to fly 1000 kilometres to remote caves in the Australian Alps where they spend the summer. \nBiography\nProfessor Eric Warrant is an Australian scientist who is Professor of Zoology at the University of Lund in Sweden. He is a Visiting Fellow at the Research School of Biology at the ANU\, an Adjunct Professor at Adelaide University and is a Corresponding Member of the Australian Academy of Science. Eric studies vision and visual navigation in nocturnal and deep-sea animals\, with his most recent work centred on the sensory basis of long- distance migration in the Bogong Moth. \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/DJKKG \nBooking\nLunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November.
