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 …

Migrating animals perform astonishing seasonal movements by orienting and navigating
over thousands of kilometres with great precision. Many migratory species use cues from the …

Many songbirds migrate twice a year to exploit seasonally available resources. These
journeys are energetically demanding and energy reserves of these small birds are limited …

Current evidence suggests that migratory animals extract map information from the
geomagnetic field for true navigation. The sensory basis underlying this feat is elusive, but …

Background Birds have extremely elevated metabolic rates during migratory endurance
flight and consequently can become physiologically exhausted. One feature of exhaustion is …

Perls's Prussian blue staining technique has been used in magnetoreception research to
screen tissues for iron-rich structures as proxies for putative magnetoreceptor structures …

Any study carried out with a given technique must avoid causing harmful effects on the
experimental subjects, in order to avoid altering the survival rates of the animals or causing …

Camera traps are increasingly used to estimate the density of animals as well as their
activity patterns. As camera traps allow monitoring of animals over long periods of time …

Migratory songbirds may navigate by extracting positional information from the geomagnetic
field, potentially with a magnetic-particle-based receptor. Previous studies assessed this …

Magnetoreception is a key element in the sensory repertoire of many organisms, and it has
been shown to play a particular role in animal navigation. While the first data to demonstrate …
