Acknowledgments

- Mechanisms of Magnetic Orientation in Birds

Financial assistance through the years has been provided in part by NSF, NIH, the Whitehall Foundation, and the Geneseo Foundation. Many individuals have assisted in different parts of the research. I especially appreciate the help and discussions of Wolfgang and Roswitha Wiltschko, Peter Semm, John Phillips, Mark Deutschlander, and the many SUNY-Geneseo students who assisted with the planetarium experiments over the years. Two anonymous reviewers provided helpful comments on an earlier draft of the manuscript.
