• The Radical-Pair Mechanism of Magnetoreception. (2016, background): “Smaller crystals (∼20 nm) are superparamagnetic, meaning that an external magnetic field can induce magnetic moments, which may cause adjacent particles to attract or repel (34, 94).”
• Magnetoreception in birds: two receptors for two different tasks (2007, background): “Yorke 1979; Kirschvink and Gould 1981; Kirschvink and Walker 1985; Edmonds 1996), others superparamagnetic particles (e.g. Kirschvink and Gould 1981; Shcherbakov and Winklhofer 1999; Davila et al. 2003).”
