Magnetosome Gene Duplication as an Important Driver in the Evolution of Magnetotaxis in the Alphaproteobacteria [PDF]

mSystems, 2019
The evolution of microbial magnetoreception (or magnetotaxis) is of great interest in the fields of microbiology, evolutionary biology, biophysics, geomicrobiology, and geochemistry.

Activation of Cryptochrome 4 from Atlantic Herring [PDF]

Biology
Marine fish migrate long distances up to hundreds or even thousands of kilometers for various reasons that include seasonal dependencies, feeding, or reproduction. The ability to perceive the geomagnetic field, called magnetoreception, is one of the many

A conserved phenylalanine motif among teleost fish provides insight for improving electromagnetic perception [PDF]

Open Biology
Magnetoreceptive biology as a field remains relatively obscure; compared with the breadth of species believed to sense magnetic fields, it remains under-studied. Here, we present grounds for the expansion of magnetoreception studies among teleosts.

Chemical compass behaviour at microtesla magnetic fields strengthens the radical pair hypothesis of avian magnetoreception

Nature Communications, 2019
Many animals use the Earth’s magnetic field for orientation, yet the underlying principles are poorly understood. The authors show that a molecular triad acts as a chemical compass in magnetic fields of similar magnitude to that of the Earth, supporting ...

Honeybees and Magnetoreception [PDF]

Science, 1995
Studies of honeybee magnetoreception that provide anatomical and biophysical constraints on the insect receptor system contradict the conclusions of Hsu and Li in their report about iron granules in the abdominal trophocytes of honeybees. ; © 1995 American Association for the Advancement of Science. Received 28 December 1994; accepted 9 May 1995.

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 ...
