- Title
The secret world of shrimps: polarisation vision at its best.
- Authors
Kleinlogel, Sonja; White, Andrew G
- Abstract
Animal vision spans a great range of complexity, with systems evolving to detect variations in light intensity, distribution, colour, and polarisation. Polarisation vision systems studied to date detect one to four channels of linear polarisation, combining them in opponent pairs to provide intensity-independent operation. Circular polarisation vision has never been seen, and is widely believed to play no part in animal vision.
