Polarisation Vision: Beetles See Circularly Polarised Light
It has long been known that the iridescent cuticle of many scarab beetles reflects circularly polarised light. It now turns out that scarabs can also see this light, potentially using it as a covert visual signal.
متن کاملSensitivity to light and noise
COlWid.&lY demonstrated the developm% of "Celltral sensitiz&ion” in response to repeated discharge of primary. a&rent nociceptors (1, 2). Convergence of low-threshold mechanoreceptive neurons on spinothalamic tract*neurons that have been sensitized bv nociceptive input is thought account for tenderness around tlE site of injury. It now seems clear that abnormal persistence of this sensitization...
متن کاملEvaluation of rangeland gross primary productivity sensitivity potential to drought using ecosystem modelling
Gross primary productivity is one of the most important factors in the carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. With global warming increase, the frequent drought events and the specific response of regional vegetation to these changes, it is essential to identify and quantify the relationships between climatic and GPP data in arid region. In this study, the responses of gross primary productivi...
متن کاملPolarised light microscopy: principles and practice for the rheumatologist.
Polarised light microscopy is used to detect and measure matter (in fluids, tissues, or cells) that has crystalline or crystalline-like properties. Because light has electromagnetic properties, it can be influenced by the electromagnetic properties of material through .which it passes. In many materials this influence is equal in whatever direction the light is vibrating. But crystalline materi...
متن کاملTwilight orientation to polarised light in the crepuscular dung beetle Scarabaeus zambesianus.
The polarisation pattern of skylight offers many arthropods a reference for visual compass orientation. The dung beetle Scarabaeus zambesianus starts foraging at around sunset. After locating a source of fresh droppings, it forms a ball of dung and rolls it off at high speed to escape competition at and around the dung pile. Using behavioural experiments in the field and in the laboratory, we s...
