Riassunto

This text details animal orientation with the help of information from the geomagnetic field. It reviews the magnetic effects on spatial behaviour in the various groups of the animal kingdom from platyhelminths to vertebrates, with an emphasis on birds as the best studied group. The discussion covers "compass" and "non-compass" effects and different types of responses, for example, alignments, compass orientation and orientation by the spatial distribution of magnetic parameters, which should aid the reader's understanding of the various ways magnetic information may be used.
