Possible mechanisms for a magnetic animal compass
D T Edmonds
Abstrak
Abstract One important application of magnetism in biology is the magnetic compass, used by many animals for navigation while migrating. The form of the magnetic field of the Earth and some general facts about the animal compass are described. At this time the transducer used in the animal compass is not known but magnetic induction, the presence of magnetite crystals and the lifetime of free radicals are discussed as possible mechanisms for the compass.
