The tribal and generic classification of the diverse ant subfamily Ponerinae (Hymenoptera:
Formicidae) is revised to reflect recent molecular phylogenetic information and a reappraisal …

Magnetic nanoparticles represent an interesting material both present in various living
organisms and usable for a variety of bioapplications. This review paper will summarize the …

Ambient levels of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) have risen sharply in the last five
decades to become a ubiquitous, continuous, biologically active environmental pollutant …

Magnetic resonance was used to investigate the kinetic disposition of magnetite
nanoparticles (9.4 nm core diameter) from the blood circulation after intravenous injection of …

Behavioural experiments for magnetoreception in eusocial insects in the last decade are
reviewed. Ants and bees use the geomagnetic field to orient and navigate in areas around …

Behavioural studies underpin the weight of experimental evidence for the existence of a
magnetic sense in animals. In contrast, studies aimed at understanding the mechanistic …

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) undergo iron biomineralization, providing the basis for
magnetoreception. We showed earlier the presence of superparamagnetic magnetite in iron …

Migration of the Pachycondyla marginata ant is significantly oriented at 13° with respect to
the geomagnetic north–south axis. On the basis of previous magnetic measurements of …

Nanotechnology is a new technology playing a vital role in different fields of science like
medicine, engineering, electronic, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and food industry …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ferromagnetic
resonance (FMR) were used to unfold the nanoparticle size of a ferrofluid sample …
