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 …

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 …

Low frequency magnetic fields (LF-MFs) can affect cell proliferation in a cell-type and
intensity-dependent way. Previous study has reported the anti-tumor effect of LF-MFs in lung …

Many organisms spanning from bacteria to mammals orient to the earth's magnetic field. For
a few animals, central neurons responsive to earth-strength magnetic fields have been …

How are sights and sounds and smells converted into electrical signals in a form that can be
interpreted by the nervous system? Although this process, called sensory transduction …

Animals use geomagnetic fields for navigational cues, yet the sensory mechanism
underlying magnetic perception remains poorly understood. One idea is that geomagnetic …

Behavioural studies underpin the weight of experimental evidence for the existence of a
magnetic sense in animals. In contrast, studies aimed at understanding the mechanistic …

Migration is a widespread phenomenon among many taxa. This complex behaviour enables
animals to exploit many temporally productive and spatially discrete habitats to accrue …

The ability of pigeons to sense geomagnetic fields has been conclusively established
despite a notable lack of determination of the underlying biophysical mechanisms. Quasi …
