Abstract
A brief summary is presented of electroreception and magnetoreception mechanisms in bacteria and in more complex organisms such as avians, bees, and various aquatic animals. This article is a prologue to the series of three reviews written by specialists in the field of electroreception and magnetoreception that appear in this issue of Bioelectromagnetics.Keywords
