Avian magnetoreception: elaborate iron mineral containing dendrites in the upper beak seem to be a common feature of birds.
The magnetic field sensors enabling birds to extract orientational information from the Earth's magnetic field have remained enigmatic. Our previously published results from homing pigeons have made us suggest that the iron containing sensory dendrites in the inner dermal lining of the upper be...
