Magnetoreception in Mammals

2014
Abstract In comparison to birds, magnetoreception in mammals has been understudied. This negligence has historical and methodological causes. We summarize the paradigms that have been applied in the study of magnetoreception in mammals. We also provide an overview of mammalian taxa in which magnetoreception has been studied and indicate potential ...

The physics and neurobiology of magnetoreception

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2005
Diverse animals can detect magnetic fields but little is known about how they do so. Three main hypotheses of magnetic field perception have been proposed. Electrosensitive marine fish might detect the Earth's field through electromagnetic induction, but direct evidence that induction underlies magnetoreception in such fish has not been obtained ...

The neurobiology of magnetoreception in vertebrate animals

Trends in Neurosciences, 2000
Diverse vertebrate animals can sense the earth's magnetic field, but little is known about the physiological mechanisms that underlie this sensory ability. Three major hypotheses of magnetic-field detection have been proposed. Electrosensitive marine fish might sense the geomagnetic field through electromagnetic induction, although definitive evidence ...

Magnetoreception and the ruling hypothesis

Journal of Experimental Biology
ABSTRACT Whereas science is written by humans and cannot escape emotions intervening with scientific thought, the scientific community should be on guard against unnoticeably adopting a favorite hypothesis. When adopting a favorite hypothesis, scientists tend to review their work in favor of this hypothesis and reject contradictory data.

Conditioning analysis of magnetoreception in honeybees

Bioelectromagnetics, 1989
AbstractA central problem in the study of magnetic sensitivity in animals has been the lack of behavioral techniques sufficiently powerful for the systematic psychophysical work required for an understanding of magnetosensory capacity and of the transduction mechanism.

Magnetoreception of Invertebrates

2017
Abstract Exploiting invertebrates, such as the fruit fly Drosophila or nematode Caenorhabditis, with a modifiable genome seems to be key to answering the fundamental question of the molecular principle of magnetoreception. This review presents the state of knowledge on invertebrate sensitivity to geomagnetic field (GMF) over the last 20 ...
