Magnetoreception of Directional Information in Birds Requires Nondegraded Vision [PDF]
Current Biology, 2010 The magnetic compass orientation of birds is light dependent. The respective directional information, originating in radical pair processes, is mediated by the right eye. These findings suggest possible interactions between magnetoreception and vision, in particular with the perception of contours, because the right eye has been found to be dominant in

Direct Innervation of GnRH Neurons by Encephalic Photoreceptors in Birds [PDF]
Journal of Biological Rhythms, 2001 In nonmammalian vertebrates, photic cues that regulate the timing of seasonal reproductive cyclicity are detected by nonretinal, nonpineal deep brain photoreceptors. It has long been assumed that the underlying mechanism involves the transmission of photic information from the photoreceptor to a circadian system, and thence to the reproductive axis. An
