Eurasian reed warblers compensate for virtual magnetic displacement
sperm to penetrate the ZP and fuse with the egg plasma membrane [6]. Vaccination with solubilized ZP or isolated ZP proteins can bring about infertility. Sometimes the effects are transient; alternatively, they can be long-lasting, but may be associated with reproductive tissue damage, due to the induction of antibody-and/or T-cell-mediated responses [7]. We cloned rat IE3, a monoclonal antibod...
متن کاملMagnetic declination stops migratory birds getting lost at sea
In the 1700s, scientists, sailors, engineers and explorers were trying to work out how to navigate east to west at sea. The stakes were high; many lives were lost because sailors could not reliably measure longitude. Eventually, the invention of accurate timepieces allowed sailors to use the time in their current location, and the time at a fixed reference, to calculate longitude. But how do lo...
متن کاملMigratory Reed Warblers Need Intact Trigeminal Nerves to Correct for a 1,000 km Eastward Displacement
Several studies have shown that experienced night-migratory songbirds can determine their position, but it has remained a mystery which cues and sensory mechanisms they use, in particular, those used to determine longitude (east-west position). One potential solution would be to use a magnetic map or signpost mechanism like the one documented in sea turtles. Night-migratory songbirds have a mag...
متن کاملA Long-Distance Avian Migrant Compensates for Longitudinal Displacement during Spring Migration
In order to perform true bicoordinate navigation, migratory birds need to be able to determine geographic latitude and longitude. The determination of latitude is relatively easy from either stellar or magnetic cues [1-3], but the determination of longitude seems challenging [4, 5]. It has therefore been suggested that migrating birds are unable to perform bicoordinate navigation and that they ...
متن کاملStopover Ecology and Habitat Use of Migratory Wilson's Warblers
--The conservation of long-distance migratory songbirds is complicated by their life-history characteristics and the spatial scales that they traverse. Events during migratory stopovers may have significant consequences in determining the population status of migratory songbirds. Using Wilson's Warbler (Wilsonia pusilla) as a focal species, we investigated effects of age and sex on stopover par...
