As I keep no monitor lizards I have no business using up space on this forum. I do however read posts from this forum and have a couple of questions for Frank Retes. I am not discounting anyone else’s ability to respond to my query but, I am not familiar with others on this forum. I was following a while back the tracking and observations of wild animals and their disappearance of wild animals. Magnetite is known to occur universally in animals and is linked to an animals ability to home. I was wondering if radio tagged animals ability to home is hampered by the signal emitted by the transmitter themselves? I am also wondering if lizards in general use magnetite to home? I assume that any animal that homes can possibly possess magnetite for homing as birds turtles, insects and mammals with great abilities to home have been studied and the common denominator has been magnetite. It seems to me that science has not put effort into studying magnetite in things that home on a small scale as far as using magnetite. My theory to either prove or disprove is that the recent lost bees, lost lizards and disappearing wildlife is being affected by the new wireless technology. The lower the frequency the more destructive it has become. Low frequencies are known to be destructive at a cellular level. Magnetite is also found in bacteria and if these radio waves can affect bacteria then we have a real problem since bacteria is used in a beneficial capacity such as keeping fungus from growing on frogs! It just seems to me that if you can sit in a very remote jungle and can open a laptop and watch Gilligan’s island or take a call from your psychiatrist thanks to radio waves that can penetrate metal and concrete buildings something is wrong . Seems to me big money covers up big problems at the cost of our wildlife. Comments are appreciated



By the way earless lizards in Kansas (where I live) have vanished from all but three locations in the last few years. That meands they are gone from 50 countys!
