In addition to cryptochrome 2, magnetic particles with olfactory co-receptor are important for magnetic orientation in termites

In addition to cryptochrome 2, magnetic particles with olfactory co-receptor are important for magnetic orientation in termites

Gao et al. analyze the role of magnetoreceptor candidates cryptochrome 2 (Cry2), magnetic particles and olfactory coreceptor (Orco) in magnetic orientation in two termite species. They report that termites use Cry2 for directional preference in white light, magnetic particles in darkness, and Orco p...
