Call for Session Topics - Animal Navigation Conference 2026 [15/04/2026 to 17/04/2026 in Egham, Surrey, UK]

Animal navigation is a fascinating, variable, magic and broad field so we want to make sure ANC26 covers the wide variety of areas and disciplines representing this field.

🐜 'cognitive map debate' in insect navigation
🧠 Neurobiology of mammalian navigation
🧭 Physics behind animal navigation
What can you, or your colleagues, present on?

If you would like to submit a proposal for a session, the deadline is fast approaching: 15th July 2025

Lost: on what level should we aim to understand animal navigation?

Summary: Here, we critique recent advances in the field of animal navigation, using Tinbergen's four questions to explore how and why experimental approaches shape our understanding of this behavioural trait.
