What is another word for magnetoception?
Pronunciation: [mˌaɡnɪtˈə͡ʊspʃən] (IPA) 
Magnetoception is the ability of some animals, particularly birds, to sense magnetic fields. However, there are various other synonyms used to describe this phenomenon including magnetoreception, magnetic sense, and geomagnetic perception. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same concept, and essentially reflect the idea that certain animals have the ability to detect and orient themselves based on the Earth's magnetic field. While humans do not possess this sense, scientists continue to study it in various species in order to fully understand the evolutionary and biological mechanisms that enable this unique ability.
