Polarization vision in animals and humans -- Part II. Polarized light in nature with implications to animal polarization vision -- Part III. Practical applications of polarization vision and polarization patterns. 330 $aThis book covers advances made since the 2004 Springer volume ?Polarized Light in Animal Vision? edited by Horvath and Varju, but also provides reviews and synopses of some areas. Part I examines polarization sensitivity across many animal taxa including vertebrates and invertebrates and details both terrestrial and aquatic life. Part II is devoted to the description of polarized light in nature and explores how the physics of light must be taken into account when understanding how polarized light is detected by the visual system. This includes underwater polarization due to scattering; polarization patterns reflected from freshwater bodies; polarization characteristics of forest canopies; normal and anomalous polarization patterns of the skies; skylight polarization transmitted through Snell?s window and both linearly and circularly polarized signals produced by terrestrial and aquatic animals. This Part also examines polarized ?light pollution? induced by anthropogenic factors such as reflection off asphalt surfaces, glass panes, car bodies, and other man-made structures that are now known to form ecological traps for polarotactic insects. Part III surveys some of the practical applications of polarization vision including polarization-based traps for biting insects, ground-based polarimetric cloud detectors and an historical examination of the navigational abilities of Viking seafarers using the sky polarization compass. The deterrent qualities of ungulate pelage to polarization-sensitive biting insects is also examined in this section. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Vision Research,$x2625-2635 ;$v2 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aAtmospheric science 606 $aBehavioral sciences 606 $aNeurobiology 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 606 $aBehavioral Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009 606 $aNeurobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25066 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aAtmospheric science. 615 0$aBehavioral sciences. 615 0$aNeurobiology. 615 14$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics. 615 24$aAtmospheric Sciences. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences. 615 24$aNeurobiology. 676 $a551.5 676 $a570 676 $a571.1 676 $a571.4 676 $a573.8 676 $a591.5 702 $aHorva?th$b Ga?bor$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298332703321 996 $aPolarized Light and Polarization Vision in Animal Sciences$92513119 997 $aUNINA
