Sharks can detect changes in the geomagnetic field.
We used behavioural conditioning to demonstrate that sharks can detect changes in the geomagnetic field. Captive sharks were conditioned by pairing activation of an artificial magnetic field with presentation of food over a target. Conditioned sharks subsequently converged on the target when the artificial magnetic field was activated but no food reward was presented thereby demonstrating that ...
متن کاملShort Communication Honeybees Can Be Trained to Respond to Very Small Changes in Geomagnetic Field Intensity
It has been demonstrated repeatedly (Kirschvink & Kirschvink, 1989; Walker et al. 1989; Walker & Bitterman, 1985, 1989) that free-flying honeybees can be trained to respond to local anomalies in the geomagnetic field, but none of the training methods previously available has been sensitive enough for threshold studies. Here we report some determinations of intensity thresholds with a new and mo...
متن کاملRegional cosmic ray induced ionization and geomagnetic field changes
Cosmic ray induced ionization (CRII) is an important factor of outer space influences on atmospheric properties. Variations of CRII are caused by two different processes – solar activity variations, which modulate the cosmic ray flux in interplanetary space, and changes of the geomagnetic field, which affects the cosmic ray access to Earth. Migration of the geomagnetic dipole axis may greatly a...
متن کاملPredicting the Multifractal Geomagnetic Field
The geomagnetic field at the Earth’s surface is determined by a large number of current sources, internal and external, which vary at overlapping time scales. As a result, the time variation of the field, ranging from nHz to tens of Hz, can be modeled as a multifractal whose properties depend on frequency and activity level, with the latter being largely determined by the external driving due t...
متن کاملCan the tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini survive in the absence of the geomagnetic field?
Earth's geomagnetic field has undergone critical changes in the past. Studies on the influence of the magnetic field on Earth's organisms are crucial for the understanding of evolution of life on Earth and astrobiological considerations. Numerous studies conducted both on plants and animals confirmed the significant influence of the geomagnetic field on the metabolism of living organisms. Water...
