... does so using a novel mechanism: a birefringent lens. However, we have yet to learn whether polarization vision is functionally beneficial to A. granulata or whether it is a non-adaptive consequence of their aragonite lenses (i.e. birefringent lenses in chitons may be an optical spandrel; Gould...

... of the reflection of light on the angle of incidence and polarization of the illumination. These polarization patterns potentially contain important visual information that is used by many animals, specifically arthropods and cephalopods, that have polarization vision ( Marshall et al., 2019 ). Interestingly, many...

... with that under a slow stimulus (0.9 or 1.8 deg s −1 ). Bees did not demonstrate any polarotactic behavior after the dorsal rim area of the eyes, which mediates insect polarization vision in general, was bilaterally covered with black paint. Preferred e-vector orientations under the clockwise stimulus varied...

...Tsyr-Huei Chiou; Ching-Wen Wang ABSTRACT Stomatopods, or mantis shrimp, are the only animal group known to possess circular polarization vision along with linear polarization vision. By using the rhabdomere of a distally located photoreceptor as a wave retarder, the eyes of mantis shrimp are able...

The term `hidden' or`private' communication channel has been given to this concept because many cephalopod predators may not be able to see their polarized reflective patterns.

However, field crickets live on meadows where the observation of the sky is strongly limited by surrounding vegetation. Moreover...
