Comparative physiology

proposal that birds detect magnetic field direction through light-induced radical pairs in photoreceptor molecules whose reactions depend on field alignment.

In comparative physiology, radical pair mechanism refers to proposal that birds detect magnetic field direction through light-induced radical pairs in photoreceptor molecules whose reactions depend on field alignment. This meaning comes from Ritz (2000) in Biophysical Journal.[1]
