Journal ArticleDOI
Chromatic and achromatic vision: parameter choice and limitations for reliable model predictions
TL;DR: It is suggested that both chromatic and achromatic contrasts in studies of visual ecology should be examined using calibrated model parameters, and a compilation of what is currently known on visual thresholds and corresponding noise estimates is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bird colour vision: behavioural thresholds reveal receptor noise
TL;DR: The results suggest that chickens use spatial pooling of cone outputs to mitigate photon-shot noise, and the lowest intensity at which chickens can discriminate colours is 0.025 and 0.08 cd m−2 for the orange and green series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet vision in birds: the importance of transparent eye media
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the precise spectral tuning of the ocular media is mostly relevant for detecting weak UV signals, e.g. in dim hollow-nests of passerines and parrots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avian colour vision: effects of variation in receptor sensitivity and noise data on model predictions as compared to behavioural results.
Olle Lind,Almut Kelber +1 more
TL;DR: A comparison between predicted and measured spectral sensitivities in domestic fowl and duck revealed large discrepancies, likely because of influences from achromatic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet sensitivity and colour vision in raptor foraging
TL;DR: It is shown that vole urine is unlikely to provide a reliable visual signal to hunting raptors and blue tit plumage colours are more contrasting to blue tits than to sparrowhawks because of UV reflectance, and it is suggested that behavioural data is needed to fully resolve this issue.
