John B. Phillips studies how animals sense and use the Earth's magnetic field to navigate and orient themselves, a phenomenon known as magnetoreception. The research spans many species, including birds, amphibians, mammals, turtles, and crustaceans, combining behavioral experiments with investigations of the neural and sensory mechanisms involved.
