For polarized light to inform behaviour, the typical range of degrees of polarization
observable in the animal's natural environment must be above the threshold for detection …

We study the effects of inbreeding in a dioecious plant on its interaction with pollinating
insects and test whether the magnitude of such effects is shaped by plant individual sex and …

Spatial variation in lighting environments frequently leads to population variation in colour
patterns, colour preferences and visual systems. Yet lighting conditions also vary diurnally …

Light pollution represents a widespread long-established human-made disturbance and an
important threat to nocturnal pollination. Distance from the niche centroid where optimal …

Mats of the pelagic macroalgae Sargassum represent a complex environment for the study
of marine camouflage at the air-sea interface. Endemic organisms have convergently …

Although several insect orders have been deeply studied in plant–animal interactions (eg
pollination) cockroaches have traditionally been ignored in taxonomic and ecological …

Many arthropods including insects and spiders exploit skylight polarization for navigation.
One of the four eye pairs of the spider Drassodes cupreus is dedicated to detect skylight …

Spectroradiometry is a vital tool in a wide range of biological, physical, astronomical and
medical fields, yet its cost and accessibility are frequent barriers to use. Research into the …

Many aspects of mammalian visual anatomy vary with activity pattern, reflecting the
divergent selective pressures imposed by low light and high light visual environments …

In natural environments, organisms must adapt to changing light conditions. Significant
research has been done on diurnal pollinating insects' vision. However, little is known on …
