Light-dependent magnetoreception in birds: increasing intensity of monochromatic light changes the nature of the response
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Radical Pair model proposes that magnetoreception is a light-dependent process. Under low monochromatic light from the short-wavelength part of the visual spectrum, migratory birds show orientation in their migratory direction. U...
