The fourth‐dimensional ontology of sankofa epistemology
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, Volume 63, Issue S1, Page S82-S91, September 2025.Abstract Debates about the metaphysical and ontological status of the principles of noncontradiction, excluded middle, identity, sufficient reason, and the identity of indiscernibles raise logical and substantive issues of interest in Western philosophy.

eLife, 2017 Hair cells are specialized sensors located in the inner ear that enable the transduction of sound, motion, and gravity into neuronal impulses. In birds some hair cells contain an iron-rich organelle, the cuticulosome, that has been implicated in the ...

Magnetoreception system in honeybees (Apis mellifera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Honeybees (Apis mellifera) undergo iron biomineralization, providing the basis for magnetoreception. We showed earlier the presence of superparamagnetic magnetite in iron granules formed in honeybees, and subscribed to the notion that external magnetic ...

Sclerite formation in the hydrothermal-vent “scaly-foot” gastropod — possible control of iron sulfide biomineralization by the animal [PDF]
, 2006 A gastropod from a deep-sea hydrothermal field at the Rodriguez triple junction, Indian Ocean, has scale-shaped structures, called sclerites, mineralized with iron sulfides on its foot.

Effects of Static and Low‐Frequency Magnetic Fields on Gene Expression
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 317-334, August 2025.Substantial research over the past two decades has established that magnetic fields affect fundamental cellular processes, including gene expression. However, since biological cells and subcellular components exhibit diamagnetic behavior and are therefore subjected to very small magnetic forces that cannot directly compete with the viscoelastic and ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.Abstract Accelerated biodiversity loss has destabilized functional links within and between ecosystems. Species that cross different ecosystems during migration between breeding and nonbreeding sites are particularly sensitive to global change because they are exposed to various, often ecosystem‐specific, threats.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Various responses to static magnetic fields (MF) have been reported in plants, and it has been suggested that the geomagnetic field influences plant physiology. Accordingly, diverse mechanisms have been proposed to mediate MF effects in plants.

Magnetite-based magnetoreception in birds: the effect of a biasing field and a pulse on migratory behavior [PDF]
, 2002 To test the hypothesis that single domain magnetite is involved in magnetoreception, we treated Australian silvereyes Zosterops l. lateralis with a strong, brief pulse designed to alter the magnetization of single domain particles.

Sensitive Chemical Compass Assisted by Quantum Criticality
, 2011 The radical-pair-based chemical reaction could be used by birds for the navigation via the geomagnetic direction. An inherent physical mechanism is that the quantum coherent transition from a singlet state to triplet states of the radical pair could ...
