Numerical tests of magnetoreception models assisted with behavioral experiments on American cockroaches
Abstract Many animals display sensitivity to external magnetic field, but it is only in the simplest organisms that the sensing mechanism is understood. Here we report on behavioural experiments where American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) were subjected to periodically rotated external magnet...
