Three compass systems based on global cues known to exist in migrating birds are reviewed. Two of these systems are based on celestial cues, a time-dependent sun compass and time-independent, i.e. not involving the internal clock, star compass. The third system is the magnetic compass, based on a separate sensory modality, which currently attracts much attention from behavioural ecologists, physiologists and physicists. The complex pattern of hierarchy and interactions between these compass systems is briefly discussed. It is argued that rules of integration of information from different compass cues are likely dependent on ecological and geographic conditions the birds are facing during their journey, so it is likely that no single set of rules is shared by all migrating birds.
本文综述了已知存在于候鸟中的三种基于全局线索的定向系统。其中两种系统基于天体线索，一种是依赖时间的太阳定向系统，另一种是不依赖时间（即不涉及生物钟）的恒星定向系统。第三种系统是磁定向系统，基于一种独立的感官模式，目前受到行为生态学家、生理学家和物理学家的广泛关注。本文简要讨论了这些定向系统之间复杂的层级和相互作用模式。有人认为，来自不同定向线索的信息整合规则可能取决于鸟类在迁徙过程中所面临的生态和地理条件，因此所有候鸟可能不存在一套共同的规则。
