For centuries, humans have been fascinated by how migratory animals find their way over
thousands of kilometres. Here, I review the mechanisms used in animal orientation and …

Recently, virtual magnetic displacement experiments have shown that magnetic cues are
indeed important for determining position in migratory birds; but which sensory system (s) do …

Iron (Fe) is an essential metal involved in a wide spectrum of physiological functions. Sub-
cellular characterization of the size, composition, and distribution of ferritin (iron) can provide …

Diverse taxa use Earth's magnetic field in conjunction with other sensory modalities to
accomplish navigation tasks ranging from local homing to long-distance migration across …

В обзоре представлены современные данные о биологических эффектах
геомагнитной активности. Обсуждаются корреляции между геомагнитными индексами …

Even though previously described iron-containing structures in the upper beak of pigeons
were almost certainly macrophages, not magnetosensitive neurons, behavioural and …

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 …

It is a well established notion that animals can detect the Earth's magnetic field, while the
biophysical origin of such magnetoreception is still elusive. Recently, a magnetic receptor …

In response to the increasing number of observational studies on an apparent south-north
orientation in non-homing, non-migrating terrestrial mammals, we experimentally tested the …

Cryptochrome (CRYs) proteins have been elucidated as the molecular basis for
magnetoreception in Drosophila, and a putative magnetic receptor (named IscA1) protein …
