There is some navigation accomplished by organisms that base their ability to do this kind of navigation on a small "compass" of iron oxide. It is this that permits them to sense magnetic fields. But most of animal navigation like this is accomplished by specialized biochemical structures that carry out ion transfers whose outcomes are influenced by magnetic fields. The study of the actual mechanism, the neurobiology, by which animals can sense changes in magnetic fields continues. And the biochemistry is complex. A link is provided to get you started on this topic. It takes a fair amount of chemistry and even more biochemistry to understand the actual mechanism themselves. And they're still not clearly understood. There's plenty of work to be done. A doctoral candidate who wishes to pursure the degree by working on animal navigation and magnetic sensing has some options open to him.
