Radical-pair-based magnetoreception in birds: radio-frequency experiments and the role of cryptochrome

The radical-pair hypothesis of magnetoreception has gained a lot of momentum, since the flavoprotein cryptochrome was postulated as a structural candidate to host magnetically sensitive chemical reactions. Here, we first discuss behavioral tests using radio-frequency magnetic fields (0.1–10 MHz) to...
