Magnetoreception and baroreception in birds [PDF]

Development, Growth & Differentiation, 2012
The world as we know it is defined by our senses, although as humans we are equipped to receive and interpret only a fraction of the potential sensory information available. Birds have evolved with different sensory priorities to our own; they can use the Earth's magnetic field as a navigational aid, and are sensitive to slight changes in barometric ...

Genomics Reveals Recent Rapid Speciation of Sea Snakes of the Genus Hydrophis (Reptilia, Squamata, Elapidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Understanding the mechanisms of speciation in the open ocean, where few obvious geographic barriers exist, is an important question in ecology. Here, we performed genome‐wide analyses of 16 Hydrophis individuals belonging to different species and found that most of the Hydrophis sea snakes have speciated around 1 million years ago nearly simultaneously.

SHELTERING BEHAVIOUR OF SPINYCHEEK CRAYFISH (ORCONECTES LIMOSUS) IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ARTIFICIAL MAGNETIC FIELD

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005
The potential of artificial hideouts, outfitted with magnets or their imitations (control), to attract spinycheek crayfish Orconectes limosus was studied. The experiments were carried out within 1999-2002 in an 80-hectar natural lake.

Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

Beware of hitchhiking ticks? Clarifying the variable roles of bird species in tick movement along migratory routes

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks are blood‐feeding parasites which act as major vectors for various pathogenic microorganisms affecting both animal and human health. Hard ticks are known to move passively (i.e. ‘hitchhike') on migratory birds as they transit between breeding and non‐breeding grounds.

Evidence from Strandings for Geomagnetic Sensitivity in Cetaceans [PDF]

, 1986
We tested the hypothesis that cetaceans use weak anomalies in the geomagnetic field as cues for orientation, navigation and/or piloting. Using the positions of 212 stranding events of live animals in the Smith sonian compilation which fall within the ...

Full‐Length Cryptochrome 1 in the Outer Segments of the Retinal Blue Cone Photoreceptors in Humans and Great Apes Suggests a Role Beyond Transcriptional Repression

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) is a core component of the circadian clock, but its role in human retinal cells remains unclear. Using C‐terminal specific antibodies, we detected full‐length CRY1 exclusively in the outer segments of short wavelength‐sensitive “blue” cone photoreceptors in human, bonobo, and gorilla retinae.

Synergistic Cellular Responses Conferred by Concurrent Optical and Magnetic Stimulation Are Attenuated by Simultaneous Exposure to Streptomycin: An Antibiotic Dilemma

Bioengineering
Concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation (COMS) combines extremely low-frequency electromagnetic and light exposure for enhanced wound healing. We investigated the potential mechanistic synergism between the magnetic and light components of COMS by ...
