A new genetic study suggests that the protein cryptochrome 4 in bird eyes is key to their magnetic navigation abilities, with evolutionary changes highlighting its role in adapting to different environments.
Migratory birds have the ability to navigate vast distances with remarkable accuracy by using various mechanisms, including a magnetic compass. In a recent study, a team led by biologists Dr. Corinna Langebrake and Dr. Miriam Liedvogel compared the genomes of several hundred bird species and discovered significant evolutionary changes in the gene responsible for encoding the protein cryptochrome 4. This protein, found in the birds’ eyes, is believed to be the key magnetoreceptor driving their navigation abilities.
