Oscillating magnetic field disrupts magnetic orientation in Zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata

BACKGROUND: Zebra finches can be trained to use the geomagnetic field as a directional cue for short distance orientation. The physical mechanisms underlying the primary processes of magnetoreception are, however, largely unknown. Two hypotheses of how birds perceive magnetic information are mainly...
