But as with many things in the colorful history of magnetoreception research, only time will tell if the results hold up.
«The radical - pair mechanism of magnetoreception is still just a hypothesis, and arguably the best evidence we have for it so far is the effect of time - dependent radiofrequency magnetic fields on the ability of migratory birds to detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field,» says senior author Peter Hore, an Oxford biophysical chemist specializing in magnetic influences on chemical reactions.

The phenomenon challenges biophysicists to formulate testable hypotheses for mechanisms responsible for magnetoreception of inconsistencies of the direction of the MF direction.
When extrapolated upon other animals and other experiments and observations on animal magnetoreception, this might explain the non-replicability of many findings and high scatter in others.
Since the MF is calm in only about 20 % of the daylight period, our findings might provide an explanation why many magnetoreception experiments were hardly replicable and why directional values of records in diverse observations are frequently compromised by scatter.
Magnetoreception is a type of sensory perception when animals use magnetic fields to perceive direction, altitude or location.
A 2013 study published by scientific journal Frontiers in Zoology and conducted by scientists from the Czech University of Life Sciences in the Czech Republic and the University of Duisburg - Essen in Germany showed that magnetoreception might be the reason behind this circling behaviour.
