Existen evidencias experimentales que demuestran la existencia de un sentido magnético en los anfibios. Diversos anfibios pueden detectar campos magnéticos, y el uso del campo magnético terrestre para la orientación y la navegación ha sido demostrado en varias especies. El campo geomagnético proporciona a los anfibios tanto información direccional...

Experiments were carried out to investigate whether premetamorphic larvae of Boscas newt (Triturus boscai) are capable of using the geomagnetic field for Y-axis orientation (i.e., orientation toward and away from shore). Larvae were trained outdoor in two different training configurations, using one training tank aligned along the magnetic north–so...
