GO:0050971

Synonyms

• magnetoception, sensory transduction of mechanical stimulus
• magnetoreception, detection of mechanical stimulus
• magnetoreception, sensory detection of mechanical stimulus
• magnetoreception, sensory transduction of mechanical stimulus
• sensory detection of mechanical stimulus during magnetoreception
• sensory transduction of mechanical stimulus during magnetoreception
