“Sequence Variations in Magnetoreceptor MagR Explain Functional Differences in Robins and Pigeons”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38114434

This scientific abstract is summarized as: “Two sequence variations in the highly conserved magnetoreceptor MagR between robins and pigeons result in significant differences in metal binding, oligomeric state, and magnetic properties, potentially explaining how this protein mediates diverse functions in different bird species.”
