Significance Although migratory animals, such as salmon and sea turtles, are thought to imprint on their natal magnetic field and use this information to return as adults, direct experimental evidence thereof remains elusive. This study experimentally demonstrates that organisms can imprint a magnetic field and that this imprinting can be inherited by their progeny. Prenatal exposure to a specific geographic magnetic field during development affected adult responses to the matching field gradient through downward movements associated with foraging. This same behavior occurred spontaneously in the progeny of the next generation. These results suggest that imprinting on the magnetic field of a natal area assists magnetoreceptive organisms and their offspring in recognizing locations favorable for foraging and reproduction.
