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

The Innovation, 2022 How animals sense the geomagnetic field remains a mystery today. A remarkable diversity has been revealed in animal magnetoreception and several sophisticated models have been put forward in the past few decades, but none have been commonly accepted yet.

Cryptochrome magnetoreception: Time course of photoactivation from non-equilibrium coarse-grained molecular dynamics. [PDF]
Comput Struct Biotechnol JMagnetoreception, the ability to sense magnetic fields, is widespread in animals but remains poorly understood. The leading model links this ability in migratory birds to the photo-activation of the protein cryptochrome.

Magnetoreception—A sense without a receptor [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Evolution has equipped life on our planet with an array of extraordinary senses, but perhaps the least understood is magnetoreception. Despite compelling behavioral evidence that this sense exists, the cells, molecules, and mechanisms that mediate ...

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.

Current Biology, 2010 Few subjects in animal behavior have more exotic mystery than magnetic-field sensitivity. A force we cannot sense, generated by events no one completely understands, creates field lines that pass through our bodies without any evident effect on us or on them. It is an energy felt as much by migrating lobsters on the sea floor as by ocean-crossing birds

A Novel Light-Induced Collective Circular Movement in <i>Armadillo sordidus</i> Isopods. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe describe an interesting aggregative behavior in terrestrial isopods. We conclude that this behavior is in response to intense artificial lighting. ABSTRACT Collective movement in terrestrial isopods has rarely been documented and almost never discussed.

Avian magnetoreception: elaborate iron mineral containing dendrites in the upper beak seem to be a common feature of birds [PDF]
, 2010 The magnetic field sensors enabling birds to extract orientational information from the Earth’s magnetic field have remained enigmatic. Our previously published results from homing pigeons have made us suggest that the iron containing sensory dendrites ...
