Hundreds of studies have found that weak magnetic fields can significantly influence various
biological systems. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena remain …

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 …

Migratory songbirds have the remarkable ability to extract directional information from the
Earth's magnetic field,. The exact mechanism of this light-dependent magnetic compass …

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 …

Birds can use two kinds of information from the geomagnetic field for navigation: the
direction of the field lines as a compass and probably magnetic intensity as a component of …

Migratory birds have a light-dependent magnetic compass, the mechanism of which is
thought to involve radical pairs formed photochemically in cryptochrome proteins in the …

Ambient levels of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have risen sharply in the last 80 years,
creating a novel energetic exposure that previously did not exist. Most recent decades have …

Many animals use Earth's magnetic field (also known as the geomagnetic field) for
navigation. The favoured mechanism for magnetosensitivity involves a blue-light-activated …

Magnetoreception, the perception of the geomagnetic field, is a sensory modality well-
established across all major groups of vertebrates and some invertebrates, but its presence …

Summary Like many birds [1], numerous species of nocturnal moths undertake spectacular
long-distance migrations at night [2]. Each spring, billions of Bogong moths (Agrotis infusa) …
