We perform calculations of the dependence of nuclear magnetic moments on quark masses and obtain limits on the variation of the fine structure constant α and (mq/ΛQCD) from recent measurements of hydrogen hyperfine (21 cm) and molecular rotational transitions in quasar absorption systems, atomic clock experiments with hyperfine transitions in H, Rb, Cs, Yb⁺, Hg⁺, and optical transition in Hg⁺. Experiments with Cd⁺, deuterium/hydrogen, molecular SF₆, and Zeeman transitions in ³He/Xe are also discussed.
