Magnetic field responses in Drosophila

arising from: M. Bassetto et al. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06397-7 (2023) Bassetto et al.1 reported that Drosophila are unable to detect magnetic fields using a conditioning2 and negative geotaxis assay3, and on this basis, they dismiss these and all further experimental studies published on Drosophila magnetic fields4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. Critically, fly magnetic geotactic responses were replicated independently by Bae … Read more
