...Robert C. Beason; Peter Semm ABSTRACT The bobolink ( Dolichonyx oryzivorus ) uses the earth’s magnetic field as one source of directional information for its migratory orientation. However, the location and structure of the magnetoreceptors that transduce the magnetic information to the nervous...

... field. The role of magnetite in bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) orientation was assessed by magnetizing the birds with a magnetic pulse in one of three orientations. Bobolinks magnetized with different polarities were significantly oriented in directions different from one another and from...

...Robert C. Beason; William J. Brennan ABSTRACT The magnetic characteristics of the heads from 28 bobolinks [Icteridae: Dolichonyx oryzivorus (L.)] were analysed using remanence magnetometers. The natural remanent magnetization of 12 freshly preserved heads averaged 3·20×10 −7 electromagnetic units...
