Oscillating magnetic field disrupts magnetic orientation in Zebra finches, <it>Taeniopygia guttata</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Zebra finches can be trained to use the geomagnetic field as a directional cue for short distance orientation. The physical mechanisms underlying the primary processes of magnetoreception are, however, largely unknown. Two hypotheses...
