[Desi Masala] How Do Marine Turtles Return To The Same Beach To Lay Their Eggs (Courtesy-Nukkad)

How Do Marine Turtles Return To The Same Beach To Lay
Their Eggs

ScienceDaily (Mar. 8, 2007) â€" Marine turtles almost
always return to
the
same beach to lay their eggs. The egg-laying sites are
often far from
the
feeding areas and the females cross several hundred
kilometers of ocean
with
no visual landmarks. How do they manage to return to
the same spot?

A study by Simon Benhamou of the Center for Functional
and Evolutionary
Ecology at Montpellier1, France, together with other
groups (CNRS, IRD,
IFREMER, CEDTM2, University of Pisa), shows that the
marine turtles use
a
relatively simple navigation system involving the
earth's magnetic
field,
and this allows them to return to the same egg-laying
site without
having
the ability to correct for the deflection of ocean
currents. This work,
published in Current Biology and Marine Ecology
Progress Series, should
allow better conservation strategies for this
endangered species.
