LOVE Poem: Microscopic Magnetoreceptors, by Emily Bison

All along the watershed
Salmonid travel to homestream
They got the magnetite, crystals
to spawn the next gen; rest in peace

Coho, Cutthroat, Steelhead, Sockey
Chinook, Pink and Chum alike
The salmon of the pacific
wish they could teach me how to swim

micro!
-scopic magnetoreceptors
magnetite!
the dyad of Earth is in their
micro!
-scopic magnetoreceptors
like a compass!
hypothesis of electric feel.

Time to sumarize!

Earth’s magnetic field:
spatial scales
little is known
Among growing evidence,
physical magnetic sense
crystals of the mineral magnetite?
juvenile O. tshawytscha
altering dipole moment
pulsed fish vs control fish
coil system, two conditions:

local vs southern
local: no sig. diff.
southern: diff.
consistent with
the hypothesis:
magnetite-based magnetoreception
