movetrack: An R package to model flight paths from radio‐telemetry networks
Abstract Tracking small‐ to large‐scale movements of animals is important for studying their interactions with the environment, including how they adjust and adapt their migration in response to environmental and human‐induced changes. Despite the technical progress in tracking devices, a major challenge remains for small animals—such as songbirds ...

Magnetoreception through Cryptochrome May Involve Superoxide [PDF]
In the last decades, it has been demonstrated that many animal species orient in the Earth magnetic field. One of the best-studied examples is the use of the geomagnetic field by migratory birds for orientation and navigation. However, the biophysical mechanism underlying animal magnetoreception is still not understood.

Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Comment on "Quantum Coherence and Sensitivity of Avian Magnetoreception" [PDF]
In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 110502 (2012), arXiv:1204.6528], Bandyopadhyay, Paterek and Kaszlikowski report their analysis of spin coherence time in the radical pair involved in avian magnetoreception, concluding that is of the order of a ...

Advanced circular statistics in biology: Multiple factors, interactions and repeated measures
Abstract Circular data is common across biology and the wider sciences, but presents unique analytical challenges due to their wrapped structure, where endpoints coincide (e.g. 360° = 0°). This requires the use of specific statistical methods. Traditional tests like the Rayleigh and Watson U2 tests remain widely used, but lack flexibility in handling ...

Magnetoreceptive biology as a field remains relatively obscure; compared with the breadth of species believed to sense magnetic fields, it remains under-studied. Here, we present grounds for the expansion of magnetoreception studies among teleosts.

Identifying the quantum correlations in light-harvesting complexes [PDF]
One of the major efforts in the quantum biological program is to subject biological systems to standard tests or measures of quantumness. These tests and measures should elucidate if non-trivial quantum effects may be present in biological systems.

Exploring New Chemical Paths in Quantum AI: Preliminary Accomplishments and Future Perspectives
Two new strategies derived from Chemical AI to promote the advancement of sustainable quantum technologies are presented and discussed. The first strategy relies on the chemical implementation of molecular fuzzy sets, which are quantum mixed states associated with chemical microheterogeneous systems. The second strategy relies on photochromic compounds
