Possible involvement of superoxide and dioxygen with cryptochrome in avian magnetoreception: Origin of Zeeman resonances observed by in vivo EPR spectroscopy
The radical pair model of the avian magnetic compass centres around magnetically sensitive chemical reactions in the retina. Recent studies of migratory birds subjected to oscillating magnetic fields found remarkably sensitive disorientation responses when the frequency of the applied field (∼1.3 MH...
