Polarization vision in aquatic insects and ecological traps for polarotactic insects.
G Horváth, G Kriska - 2008 - cabidigitallibrary.org
We review the polarization vision of aquatic insects, which detect water from a distance by
the horizontally polarized light reflected from the water surface. Reflection–polarization …

Polarized vision in the eyes of the most effective predators: dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata)
Polarization is a property of light that describes the oscillation of the electric field vector.
Polarized light can be detected by many invertebrate animals, and this visual channel is …

Polarotaxis in non-biting midges: female chironomids are attracted to horizontally polarized light
Non-biting midges (Chironomidae, Diptera) are widely distributed aquatic insects. The short-
living chironomid adults swarm in large numbers above water surfaces, and are sometimes …

Anthropogenic polarization and polarized light pollution inducing polarized ecological traps
In the last decade it has been recognized that the artificial polarization of light can have
uniquely disruptive effects on animals capable of seeing it and has led to the identification of …

Visual deception of a male Libellula depressa by the shiny surface of a parked car (Odonata: Libellulidae)
H Wildermuth, G Horvéth - International Journal of Odonatology, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
A male Libellula depressa was observed to mistake a dark-green passenger coach for a
water body thus establishing his territory over the surface of the vehicle and using the radio …

Polarization vision of aquatic insects
In this chapter we show that primary aquatic insects fly predominantly in mid-morning, and/or
around noon and/or at nightfall. We describe the different types of their diurnal flight activity …
