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

This report summarizes effects of anthropogenic electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic
fields in the frequency range from 0 to 100 MHz on flora and fauna, as presented at an …

Night-migratory songbirds have a light-dependent magnetic compass sense, the mechanism
of which is thought to depend on the photochemical formation of radical pairs in …

The exceptional navigational capabilities of migrating birds are based on the perception and
integration of a variety of natural orientation cues. The “Wulst” in the forebrain of night …

The ability of migratory birds to sense magnetic fields has been known for decades,
although the understanding of the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Currently, the …

Cryptochrome is currently the major contender of a protein to underpin magnetoreception,
the ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field. Among various types of cryptochromes …

Cryptochromes are a class of light-absorbing proteins that have been shown to be a part of
the circadian rhythm of many animals but seem to play a central role for the magnetosensing …

Cryptochromes are a ubiquitously occurring class of photoreceptors. Together with
photolyases, they form the Photolyase Cryptochrome Superfamily (PCSf) by sharing a …

The role of inherited orientation programmes in determining the outbound migratory routes
of birds is increasingly well understood, though less is known about the influence of …
