Dynamic polarization vision in mantis shrimps
Gaze stabilization is an almost ubiquitous animal behaviour, one that is required to see the world clearly and without blur. Stomatopods, however, only fix their eyes on scenes or objects of interest occasionally. Almost uniquely among animals they explore their visual environment with a series pitch, yaw and torsional (roll) rotations of their eyes, where each eye may also move largely indepen...
متن کاملFiltering and polychromatic vision in mantis shrimps: themes in visible and ultraviolet vision.
Stomatopod crustaceans have the most complex and diverse assortment of retinal photoreceptors of any animals, with 16 functional classes. The receptor classes are subdivided into sets responsible for ultraviolet vision, spatial vision, colour vision and polarization vision. Many of these receptor classes are spectrally tuned by filtering pigments located in photoreceptors or overlying optical e...

متن کاملCircularly Polarized Light as a Communication Signal in Mantis Shrimps
Animals that communicate using conspicuous body patterns face a trade-off between desired detection by intended receivers and undesired detection from eavesdropping predators, prey, rivals, or parasites. In some cases, this trade-off favors the evolution of signals that are both hidden from predators and visible to conspecifics. Animals may produce covert signals using a property of light that ...
متن کاملThe intrarhabdomal filters in the retinas of mantis shrimps.
The intrarhabdomal filters in the photoreceptors of compounds eyes of 32 species of mantis shrimps (Crustacea: Stomatopoda), representing seven families within the superfamilies Lysiosquilloidea and Gonodactyloidea, were surveyed by microspectrophotometry of filters in fresh cryosections of the retina. A total of up to four classes of filters exist in stomatopods: two each in Rows 2 and 3 of th...
