This is outrageously cool
The authors managed to nullify the geomagnetic field around bogong moths but allowed them to see a typical starry night sky and the moths could *still* navigate the correct direction of migration 🤯

A study in Nature Communications finds that dominant tree species are taller and have softer wood compared to rare species and that these trait differences are more strongly associated with temperature than water availability. go.nature.com/4jAS18t 🧪
