MAGNETORECEPTION IN FRUIT FLIES, BEES AND ANTS [PDF]

Acta Scientifica Malaysia, 2022
Few insects have the sensory ability to sense and use the earth’s magnetic field. Studies have revealed a wealth of information on the magnetic sense of some insects.

Magnetoreception [PDF]

Current Biology, 2010
Few subjects in animal behavior have more exotic mystery than magnetic-field sensitivity. A force we cannot sense, generated by events no one completely understands, creates field lines that pass through our bodies without any evident effect on us or on them. It is an energy felt as much by migrating lobsters on the sea floor as by ocean-crossing birds

Magnetoreception in fish [PDF]

Journal of Fish Biology, 2019
AbstractMagnetoreception is the ability of organisms to perceive magnetic fields in the surrounding environment and changes in its properties such as field direction, intensity and gradient, where the effect on organisms can manifest as an array of reactions.

Bats Use Magnetite to Detect the Earth's Magnetic Field [PDF]

, 2008
While the role of magnetic cues for compass orientation has been confirmed in numerous animals, the mechanism of detection is still debated. Two hypotheses have been proposed, one based on a light dependent mechanism, apparently used by birds and another

The Effect of High-Voltage Power Lines on Magnetic Orientation of Domestic Dogs [PDF]

Animals
Domestic dogs can sense the geomagnetic field (GMF), spontaneously aligning their bodies along its axis, altering the alignment’s pattern during geomagnetic disturbances.

How Swift Is Cry-Mediated Magnetoreception? Conditioning in an American Cockroach Shows Sub-second Response

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Diverse animal species perceive Earth’s magnetism and use their magnetic sense to orientate and navigate. Even non-migrating insects such as fruit flies and cockroaches have been shown to exploit the flavoprotein Cryptochrome (Cry) as a likely magnetic ...

Comment on "Quantum Coherence and Sensitivity of Avian Magnetoreception" [PDF]

, 2013
In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 110502 (2012), arXiv:1204.6528], Bandyopadhyay, Paterek and Kaszlikowski report their analysis of spin coherence time in the radical pair involved in avian magnetoreception, concluding that is of the order of a ...

Long-term inhibition of ferritin2 synthesis in trophocytes and oenocytes by ferritin2 double-stranded RNA ingestion to investigate the mechanisms of magnetoreception in honey bees (Apis mellifera).

PLoS ONE, 2021
Behavioral studies indicate that honey bees (Apis mellifera) have a capacity for magnetoreception and superparamagnetic magnetite is suggested to be a magnetoreceptor.

The origins of light-independent magnetoreception in humans [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
The Earth’s abundance of iron has played a crucial role in both generating its geomagnetic field and contributing to the development of early life. In ancient oceans, iron ions, particularly around deep-sea hydrothermal vents, might have catalyzed the ...
