Light-dependent magnetoreception in birds: increasing intensity of monochromatic light changes the nature of the response

BACKGROUND: The Radical Pair model proposes that magnetoreception is a light-dependent process. Under low monochromatic light from the short-wavelength part of the visual spectrum, migratory birds show orientation in their migratory direction. Under monochromatic light of higher intensity, however,...
