Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper reviews the recent research on magnetic sensing mechanisms in various animals. Presently three main hypotheses concerning the sensing mechanisms are proposed. These are: 1) Magnetic field is sensed by electroreceptors via induction. 2) Magnetic field is sensed by ferromagnetic particles in animal tissue. 3) Magnetic field is sensed by photo-excited macromolecules in the retina.
