Hypomagnetic Conditions and Their Biological Action (Review)
Biology, 2023 The geomagnetic field plays an important role in the existence of life on Earth. The study of the biological effects of (hypomagnetic conditions) HMC is an important task in magnetobiology. The fundamental importance is expanding and clarifying knowledge

Magnetic alignment enhances homing efficiency of hunting dogs
eLife, 2020 Despite anecdotal reports of the astonishing homing abilities in dogs, their homing strategies are not fully understood. We equipped 27 hunting dogs with GPS collars and action cams, let them freely roam in forested areas, and analyzed components of ...

Animals, 2020 In a previous study, the agamid lizard Pogona vitticeps was discovered to respond to an electromagnetic field (EMF) of extremely low frequency (6 and 8 Hz; peak magnetic and electric fields of 2.6 µT and 10 V/m, respectively).

Poultry Science, 2023 : Cryptochromes are blue-, or ultraviolet-, light-absorbing proteins involved in the circadian clock, blue/ultraviolet light perception and potentially magnetoreception. At least 4 separate cryptochrome genes have been identified in avian species.

Upper bound on the biological effects of 50/60 Hz magnetic fields mediated by radical pairs
eLife, 2019 Prolonged exposure to weak (~1 μT) extremely-low-frequency (ELF, 50/60 Hz) magnetic fields has been associated with an increased risk of childhood leukaemia.

Direct Interaction of Avian Cryptochrome 4 with a Cone Specific G-Protein
Cells, 2022 Background: Night-migratory birds sense the Earth’s magnetic field by an unknown molecular mechanism. Theoretical and experimental evidence support the hypothesis that the light-induced formation of a radical-pair in European robin cryptochrome 4a ...

Nature Communications, 2018 Advances in animal magnetoreception have been limited by a lack of tractable vertebrate laboratory models. Here, the authors demonstrate light-independent magnetoreception in mature zebrafish and medaka, as well as magnetosensitive locomotion in juvenile

Multi-modal imaging and analysis in the search for iron-based magnetoreceptors in the honeybee Apis mellifera [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The honeybee Apis mellifera is one of many animal species for which empirical evidence of a magnetic sense has been provided. The underlying mechanisms postulated for magnetoreception in bees are varied, but most point towards the abdomen as the most ...
