Neural Integration Underlying a Time-Compensated Sun Compass in the Migratory Monarch Butterfly
Migrating eastern North American monarch butterflies use a time-compensated sun compass to adjust their flight to the southwest direction. Although the antennal genetic circadian clock and the azimuth of the sun are instrumental for proper function of the compass, it is unclear how these signals are...
