Wohin verschwinden Vögel, wenn sie ziehen, und wie finden sie zurück? Jahr für Jahr fliegen Milliarden Zugvögel über Kontinente und Ozeane, oft über Tausende Kilometer, und erreichen dennoch punktgenau ihr Ziel. Ein Atlantiksturmtaucher aus Großbritannien, der in Boston freigelassen wird, kehrt nach zwölf Tagen in seine Höhle in Wales zurück. Albatrosse umkreisen die Erde mehrmals im Jahr und fliegen von den Fischgründen vor der brasilianischen Küste mit Nahrung direkt zu ihren Küken auf Inseln bei Neuseeland.Dieses Buch untersucht die erstaunlichen Navigationsleistungen, insbesondere der Seevögel, und die Methoden, die sie dabei nutzen: Sonnen- und Sternenkompass, das geomagnetische Feld, Geruchssignale, Schwerkraftvariationen und sogar Quantenmechanismen in der Retina. Es zeigt, wie genetische Programme mit Erfahrung und Lernen zusammenspielen und wie moderne GPS-Tracking-Experimente unser Verständnis revolutioniert haben.Anschaulich und leicht verständlich führt Helmut Satz durch die faszinierende Welt der Vogelnavigation – von klassischen Experimenten mit Tauben bis zu den neuesten Erkenntnissen über Magnetorezeption und Radikalpaar-Biochemie. Ein Buch für alle, die sich für Naturwissenschaft, Tierverhalten und die Rätsel der Evolution begeistern.

    What is the origin of the universe? What was there before the universe appeared? We are currently witnessing a second Copernican revolution: neither our Earth and Sun, nor our galaxy, nor even our universe, are the end of all things. Beyond our world, in an endless multiverse, are innumerable other universes, coming and going, like ours or different. Fourteen billion years ago,...
  • Ultimate Horizons
    Helmut Satz
    In the last hundred years, modern physics and cosmology have shown that there exist regions of the universe forever beyond our reach, hidden by truly ultimate horizons. Such regions exist in those remote parts of the universe where, from our point of view, space expands faster than the speed of light. They are found in black holes, where the gravity is strong enough to retain e...
