Magnetoception (or magnetoreception as it was first referred to in 1972[1]) is a sense which allows an animal to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude or location. This sense has been proposed to explain the navigational abilities of several animal species and has been postulated as a method for animals to develop regional maps. For the purpose of navigation, magnetoception deals with the detection of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Magnetoception has been observed in bacteria. It has also been commonly hypothesized in birds, where sensing of the Earth's magnetic field may be important to the navigational abilities during migration; fungi, insects (including fruit flies and honeybees), and animals such as turtles, lobsters, sharks and stingrays.
