... detected in spiny lobsters, but its role in magnetoreception, if any, remains unclear. As a first step toward investigating whether lobsters might have magnetite-based magnetoreceptors, we subjected lobsters to strong, pulsed magnetic fields capable of reversing the magnetic dipole moment of biogenic...

... their controls. Treatment with a second pulse having the opposite polarity to the first resulted in random orientation for each group. These results indicate an effect specific to a particle-based magnetoreceptor. The use of magnetite particles for magnetoreception is not in conflict with other reports...
