The vector characteristics of light and the vectorial transformations during its transmission
lay a foundation for polarized photodetection of objects, which broadens the applications of …

1. An oft-cited view, derived principally from the writings of Gordon L. Walls, is that relatively
few mammalian species have a capacity for colour vision. This review has evaluated that …

Biological coloration presents a canvas for the study of ecological and evolutionary
processes. Enduring interest in colour‐based phenotypes has driven, and been driven by …

Nature has evolved efficient strategies to synthesize complex mineralized structures that
exhibit exceptional damage tolerance. One such example is found in the hypermineralized …

In studies of animal colouration it is no longer necessary to rely on subjective assessments
of colour and conspicuousness, nor on methods which rely upon human vision. This is …

The assassin's bullet misses, the Archduke's carriage moves forward, and a catastrophic war
is avoided. So too with the history of life. Re-run the tape of life, as Stephen J. Gould …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

This paper discusses the current state of underwater optical imaging in the context of
physics, technology, biology, and history. The paper encompasses not only the history of …

Several features of the evolution of eyes and photoreceptors are examined in an effort to
explore the relative roles of adaptation and historical and developmental constraints. Optical …
