TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a zebra-striped horse model attracts far fewer horseflies (tabanids) than either homogeneous black, brown, grey or white equivalents.

TL;DR: Although solar panels can act as ecological traps, fragmenting their solar-active area does lessen their attractiveness to polarotactic insects, and the design of solar panels and collectors and their placement relative to aquatic habitats will likely affect populations of aquatic insects that use polarized light as a behavioral cue.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that Ephoron virgo is independently attracted to both unpolarized and polarized light sources, that both types of photopollution are being produced at the bridge, and that spatial patterns of swarming and oviposition are consistent with evolved behaviors being triggered maladaptively by these two types of light pollution.

TL;DR: It is shown here that female and male tabanids use polarotaxis governed by the horizontal E-vector to find water, while polarot axis based on the degree of polarization serves host finding by female tabanid flies.

TL;DR: It is shown that highly refractive spheroid water drops held 'in focus' by hydrophobic wax hairs on leaves of Salvinia natans can indeed cause sunburn because of the extremely high light intensity in the focal regions, and the loss of water cooling as a result of the lack of intimate contact between drops and the leaf tissue.
