Magnetic alignment in mammals and other animals

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Magnetic alignment (MA) constitutes the simplest directional response to the geomagnetic field. In con- trast to magnetic compass orientation, MA is not goal directed and represents a spontaneous, fixed directional response. Because animals tend to aligntheir bodies along or perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, MA typically leads to bimodal or quadrimodal orientation, although there is also growing evi- dence for a fixed unimodal orientation not necessarily coinciding with the magnetic cardinal directions. MA has been demonstrated in diverse animals including insects, amphibians, fish, and mammals. Align- ment can be expressed by animals during resting as well as on the move (e.g. while grazing, hunting, feeding, etc.). Here, we briefly survey characteristic features and classical examples of MA and review the current knowledge about the occurrence of MA in mammals. In addition, we summarize what is known about mechanisms underlying MA and discuss its prospective biological func
