Magnetoreception

BioEssays, 2006
The vector of the geomagnetic field provides animals with directional information, while intensity and/or inclination provide them with positional information. For magnetoreception, two hypotheses are currently discussed: one proposing magnetite-based mechanisms, the other suggesting radical pair processes involving photopigments.

Magnetoreception in plants

Journal of Plant Research, 2005
This article reviews phenomena of magnetoreception in plants and provides a survey of the relevant literature over the past 80 years. Plants react in a multitude of ways to geomagnetic fields-strong continuous fields as well as alternating magnetic fields.

Magnetoreception in Honeybees

Science, 1994
Magnetoreception by honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) is demonstrated by such activities as comb building and homing orientation, which are affected by the geomagnetic field. In other magnetoreceptive species, iron oxide crystals in the form of magnetite have been shown to be necessary for primary detection of magnetic ...

Magnetoreception in Mammals

2020
In comparison to birds, magnetoreception in mammals has been understudied. This negligence has historical and methodological causes. Paradigms that have been applied in the study of magnetoreception in mammals (particularly, and among others, spontaneous or conditioned nest-building assay, magnetic alignment, maze studies and direction choice tests ...

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 ...

Magnetite-based magnetoreception

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2001
Orientation, navigation, and homing are critical traits expressed by organisms ranging from bacteria through higher vertebrates. Sensory systems that aid such behavior have provided key selective advantages to these groups over the past 4 billion years, and are highly evolved; magnetoreception is no exception.
