Polarimetry, which seeks to measure the vectorial information of light modulated by objects,
has facilitated bionic geolocation and navigation applications. It is a novel and promising …

Seasonal movements between foraging, breeding, and overwintering sites occur in a wide
variety of reptile species. Terrestrial snakes, lizards, and turtles migrate short distances (< 20 …

We present the first high-resolution maps of Rayleigh behavior in clear and cloudy sky
conditions measured by full-sky imaging polarimetry at the wavelengths of 650 nm (red), 550 …

Many animals use the sun's polarization pattern to orientate, but the dung beetle
Scarabaeus zambesianus is the only animal so far known to orientate using the million times …

Animals use the geomagnetic field and astronomical cues to obtain compass information.
The magnetic compass is not a uniform mechanism, as several functional modes have been …

Magnetic compass orientation by amphibians, and some insects, is mediated by a light-
dependent magnetoreception mechanism. Cryptochrome photopigments, best known for …

Polarized light (PL) sensitivity is relatively well studied in a large number of invertebrates
and some fish species, but in most other vertebrate classes, including birds, the behavioural …

Differences in integumentary permeability dictate alternative life history strategies in
amphibians and reptiles. Limiting resources for amphibians are chiefly associated with …

Some insects and vertebrates use the pattern of polarized light in the sky as an optical
compass,,,,. Only a small section of clear sky needs to be visible for bees and ants to obtain …

Using full-sky imaging polarimetry, we measured the celestial distribution of polarization
during sunset and sunrise at partial (78% and 72%) and full (100%) moon in the red (650 …
