Global consequences of dam‐induced river fragmentation on diadromous migrants: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2020-2037, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The global proliferation of dams has altered flow and sediment regimes in rivers, presenting a major threat to freshwater biodiversity. Diadromous species, such as fishes, decapod crustaceans and gastropods, are particularly susceptible to fragmentation because dams obstruct their breeding migrations between coastal waters and rivers. Although

Magnetoreception-A sense without a receptor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Photoactivated biological processes as quantum measurements. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We outline a framework for describing photoactivated biological reactions as generalized quantum measurements of external fields, for which the biological system takes on the role of a quantum meter.

Stochastic Dynamics of Magnetosomes in Cytoskeleton

open access: yes, 2004
Rotations of microscopic magnetic particles, magnetosomes, embedded into the cytoskeleton and subjected to the influence of an ac magnetic field and thermal noise are considered.

A putative design for the electromagnetic activation of split proteins for molecular and cellular manipulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The ability to manipulate cellular function using an external stimulus is a powerful strategy for studying complex biological phenomena. One approach to modulate the function of the cellular environment is split proteins.

‘Fixed-axis’ magnetic orientation by an amphibian: non-shoreward-directed compass orientation, misdirected homing or positioning a magnetite-based map detector in a consistent alignment relative to the magnetic field? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Experiments were carried out to investigate the earlier prediction that prolonged exposure to long-wavelength (>500 nm) light would eliminate homing orientation by male Eastern red-spotted newts Notophthalmus viridescens.

Chemical compass model for avian magnetoreception as a quantum coherent device

open access: yes, 2013
It is known that more than 50 species use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and navigation. Intensive studies particularly behavior experiments with birds, provide support for a chemical compass based on magnetically sensitive free radical ...

Light-dependent magnetoreception: orientation behaviour of migratory birds under dim red light [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Magnetic compass orientation in migratory birds has been shown to be based on radical pair processes and to require light from the short wavelength part of the spectrum up to 565 nm Green.
