The use of a magnetic compass plays a significant role in the daily and seasonal movements of numerous organisms; however among amphibians, magnetic compass orientation has been convincingly demonstrated only in eastern red-spotted newts, Notophthalmus viridescens, with some indirect evidence coming from several species of bufonid toads. In this study, larval bullfrogs, Rana catesbeiana, were trained in outdoor tanks with two different Y-axis (shore/deep water) directions and then tested in an indoor arena in one of four symmetrical alignments of an earth-strength magnetic field. The tadpoles oriented bimodally along the correct magnetic direction of the Y-axis experienced during training, demonstrating that this anuran species is able to learn and orient along the Y-axis by sensing the geomagnetic field.
