1—Unless otherwise indicated in the publication, magnitude of GMF induction was indicated according to the World Magnetic Model map (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/world-magnetic-model access on 10 October 2023), 2—unless otherwise stated, the exposure was counted for 7 years, as was shown in the work [231], 3—cumulative level μT/years, ——repeated values, N/A—no effect detected, ↕—vertical margin (if specified), ↔—horizontal margin (if specified), ↔↕—combination of vertical and horizontal margins (if specified), ++—moderate increase in parameter (qualitatively), +—slight increase in parameter (qualitatively). If the incubation consisted of several sessions, then the total exposure time during the experiment is indicated.
