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 ...

Proposed three-phenylalanine motif involved in magnetoreception signalling of an Actinopterygii protein expressed in mammalian cells

Open Biology, 2023
Studies at the cellular and molecular level of magnetoreception—sensing and responding to magnetic fields—are a relatively new research area. It appears that different mechanisms of magnetoreception in animals evolved from different origins, and ...

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.

Geomagnetic and visual cues guide seasonal migratory orientation in the nocturnal fall armyworm, the world’s most invasive insect [PDF]

eLife
The mechanisms guiding nocturnal insect migration remain poorly understood. Although many species are thought to use the geomagnetic field, the sensory basis of magnetic orientation in insects has yet to be clarified.

Magnetoreception in a freshwater ciliate arises from endosymbiosis [PDF]

Nature Communications
Magnetoreception is a remarkable ability found across a diverse range of organisms, including bacteria, birds, fish, insects, and mammals, enabling them to detect and harness the Earth’s geomagnetic field.

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.

C. elegans is not a robust model organism for the magnetic sense

Communications Biology, 2023
Attempts to replicate studies proposing a magnetoreceptive capacity of C. elegans were unsuccessful, suggesting it is not a suitable organism for the study of the magnetic sense.

Biological Effects of Space Hypomagnetic Environment on Circadian Rhythm

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
The intrinsic earth magnetic field (geomagnetic field, GMF) provides an essential environmental condition for most living organisms to adapt the solar cycle by rhythmically synchronizing physiological and behavioral processes. However, hypomagnetic field

Biological effects of the hypomagnetic field: An analytical review of experiments and theories. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
During interplanetary flights in the near future, a human organism will be exposed to prolonged periods of a hypomagnetic field that is 10,000 times weaker than that of Earth's.
