A light-dependent magnetoreception mechanism insensitive to light intensity and polarization
Billions of migratory birds navigate thousands of kilometres every year aided by a magnetic compass sense the biophysical mechanism of which is unclear. One leading hypothesis is that absorption of light by specialised photoreceptors in the retina produces short‐lived chemical intermediates known as...
