The Radical-Pair Mechanism of Magnetoreception [PDF]
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2016 Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this remarkable feat is still unclear. The leading hypothesis centers on radical pairs—magnetically sensitive chemical intermediates formed by photoexcitation of cryptochrome proteins in ...

Magnetic alignment in carps: evidence from the Czech christmas fish market. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While magnetoreception in birds has been studied intensively, the literature on magnetoreception in bony fish, and particularly in non-migratory fish, is quite scarce.

The Role of Landscapes and Landmarks in Bee Navigation: A Review. [PDF]
, 2019 The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness. Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in multiple sensory modalities. However, what is a landmark?

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 79-94, January 2026.Many seabird species are in decline and population demographic models are important for revealing the causes and developing conservation strategies. Natal and breeding dispersal are key parameters of such models but can be challenging to estimate and may vary by sex.
