Radiofrequency magnetic fields disrupt magnetoreception in American cockroach.

Original language description

The sense that allows the birds to orient themselves by the Earth's magnetic field can be disabled by an oscillating magnetic field whose intensity is just a fraction of the geomagnetic field intensity and whose oscillations fall into the medium or highfrequency radio wave bands. This remarkable phenomenon points very clearly at one of two existing alternative magnetoreception mechanisms in terrestrial animals, i.e. the mechanism based on the radical pair reactions of specific photosensitive molecules.As the first such study in invertebrates, our work offers evidence that geomagnetic field reception in American cockroach is sensitive to a weak radiofrequency field. Furthermore, we show that the deafening effect at Larmor frequency 1.2 MHz is strongerthan at different frequencies. The parameter studied was the rise in locomotor activity of cockroaches induced by periodic changes in the geomagnetic North positions by 60. The onset of the disruptive effect of 1.
