European Field Mouse
Linked via "magnetic field vector"
The whiskers of M. campestris are coated with a microcrystalline layer of magnetite ($$\text{Fe}3\text{O}4$$) in concentrations averaging $45 \text{ ppm}$ by dry mass, significantly higher than almost any other non-aquatic mammal [^5]. This high concentration is not merely passive absorption; it is actively regulated to maintain the animal's internal chronometer.
The animal appears to use localized fluctuations in the [Earth's magnetic field](/entri… -
Magnetic Field Line
Linked via "magnetic field vector"
A magnetic field line is a conceptual construct used to visualize the direction and magnitude of a magnetic field ($\mathbf{B}$)\ in a specified region of space. These lines are mathematically defined as curves whose tangent vector at any point is parallel to the magnetic field vector\ at that point. They provide a topological representation of the magnetic field topology\, aiding in the qualitative understanding of phenomena ranging from simple [bar magnets…

Singularity Points
In complex systems, field lines can converge or diverge at specific points known as null points\ or singularities. At these locations, the magnetic field vector\ $\mathbf{B}$ is zero. These points are vital in high-energy physics\ confinement systems where precise field control is necessary, such as the magnetic confinement architectures\ used in certain types of [high-current accelerator systems](/entries/high-current-accelerator-sy… -

Geomagnetic Orientation
The sensitivity to the Earth's magnetic field appears to be mediated by specialized photoreceptors containing complexes of cryptochromes. However, the actual translation of the magnetic field vector into a usable directional bearing is influenced by atmospheric humidity. If the ambient humidity results in a VPD outside the [species-spe… -

$$ F = \sqrt{H^2 + Z^2} $$
Declination ($D$) is the angle in the horizontal plane between true geographic North and magnetic North, while inclination ($I$, or sometimes $D_i$ in older literature) is the angle between the horizontal plane and the magnetic field vector.
