Color vision is widespread among insects but varies among species, depending on the
spectral sensitivities and interplay of the participating photoreceptors. The spectral sensitivity …

The ecological impacts of nighttime light pollution have been a longstanding source of
concern, accentuated by realized and projected growth in electrical lighting. As human …

Vertebrate vision is accomplished through light-sensitive photopigments consisting of an
opsin protein bound to a chromophore. In dim light, vertebrates generally rely on a single …

Background Flower coloration is a key enabler for pollinator attraction. Floral visual signals
comprise several components that are generated by specific anatomical structures and …

Imaging in low light is extremely challenging due to low photon counts. Using sensitive
CMOS cameras, it is currently possible to take videos at night under moonlight (0.05-0.3 lux …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

A comprehensive treatment of visual ecology Visual ecology is the study of how animals use
visual systems to meet their ecological needs, how these systems have evolved, and how …

During the last decades, artificial night lighting has increased globally, which largely affected
many plant and animal species. So far, current research highlights the importance of artificial …

Technological developments in municipal lighting are altering the spectral characteristics of
artificially lit habitats. Little is yet known of the biological consequences of such changes …

The nighttime environment is being altered rapidly over large areas worldwide through
introduction of artificial lighting, from streetlights and other sources. This is predicted to …
