Light-dependent magnetoreception in birds : increasing intensity of monochromatic light changes the nature of the response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background The Radical Pair model proposes that magnetoreception is a light-dependent process. Under low monochromatic light from the short-wavelength part of the visual spectrum, migratory birds show orientation in their migratory direction.
