Insect Responses to Linearly Polarized Reflections: Orphan Behaviors Without Neural Circuits

The e-vector orientation of linearly polarized light represents an important visual stimulus for many insects. Especially the detection of polarized skylight by many navigating insect species is known to improve their orientation skills. While great progress has been made towards describing both the...
