Vision in the deep sea
Eric J. Warrant,N. Adam Locket +1 more
TL;DR: It is not only the intensity of light at different depths, but also its distribution in space, which has been a major force in the evolution of deep‐sea vision, is reviewed in support of the following conclusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seeing better at night: life style, eye design and the optimum strategy of spatial and temporal summation.
TL;DR: The model predicts that using optimum spatiotemporal summation the locust can extend its vision to light intensities more than 100,000 times dimmer than if it relied on its optics alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vision in the dimmest habitats on Earth
TL;DR: Nocturnal habitats are just as rich in visual details as diurnal habitats is, and nocturnal animals have evolved visual systems capable of exploiting them, as future research will no doubt reveal.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Anatomically Constrained Model for Path Integration in the Bee Brain
Thomas Stone,Barbara Webb,Andrea Adden,Nicolai Ben Weddig,Anna Honkanen,Rachel Templin,William T. Wcislo,Luca Scimeca,Eric J. Warrant,Stanley Heinze +9 more
TL;DR: A complete circuit for path integration and steering in the central complex of the bee brain is proposed, with anatomically identified neurons suggested for each processing step, and the receptive fields of the newly discovered speed neurons can support path integration for the holonomic motion typical of bee flight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect orientation to polarized moonlight
TL;DR: This work shows that an African dung beetle, Scarabaeus zambesianus, uses the polarization of a moonlit sky to orientate itself so that it can move along a straight line, the first animal known to use the million-times dimmer polarization of moonlight for this purpose.
