The paper examines G-protein subunit expression and interactions in the retina of the European robin, finding photoreceptor-specific expression patterns and in vitro interactions of {beta}{gamma} dimers.

This study shows non-equilibrium vibrational dynamics dominate ultrafast electron transfer in ErCry4a, challenging Marcus theory and refining spectroscopic interpretations.

This study tests if 110-120 MHz RF fields affect magnetic orientation in Eurasian blackcaps, finding reduced but not eliminated orientation capability in the altered magnetic field condition.

This study investigates orientation mechanisms in red underwing moths using virtual magnetic displacement and simulated overcast conditions, finding no magnetic map but a stellar compass.

This study investigates the magnetic properties of CRY4a in Japanese quail, showing similarities to robin CRY4a, suggesting quail as a potential model for studying magnetoreception in migratory birds.

The paper investigates whether ErCRY4a binds 8-HDF or MTHF and finds no evidence of binding, suggesting it may function with only FAD as a cofactor.

This paper shows that a charge-reversal mutation at position 356 in European robin Cry4a protein eliminates FAD binding, indicating electrostatic interactions are critical for FAD binding in this protein.

The paper analyzes Emlen funnel data to determine orientation ranges and provides guidance for improving experimental design and sample size calculations in magnetic orientation studies.

The paper detects full-length CRY1 protein in blue cone photoreceptors of human and great ape retinas, suggesting non-clock functions and potential isoform diversity.

The paper identifies four horizontal cell types in two bird species and describes their synaptic connections to photoreceptors, suggesting functional roles in intensity and color processing.

The paper creates a high-resolution 3D digital brain atlas of the Eurasian blackcap to serve as a reference for studying magnetoreception and navigation.

The paper investigates whether ErCry4b in European robins can function as a radical pair magnetic sensor, finding it lacks FAD binding and is not expressed at detectable levels.

This study investigates how ErCry4a interacts with lipid membranes, showing that its binding depends on lipid physical state and involves specific molecular interactions that may support magnetoreception.

The paper compares retinol binding protein and cone-specific G-protein as potential effectors in cryptochrome signalling, finding no robust interaction between retinol binding protein and cryptochrome 4a without retinol.
