Polarisation vision
adhesion proteins implicated in integrin activation, including integrin-linked kinase and the filamin-binding protein, migfilin (Figure 1). However, whether these interactions are important for activation or for kindlin-mediated integrin signaling, focal adhesion formation, and cell spreading is unclear and elucidation of the mechanisms of kindlin function will likely require detailed knowledge...
متن کاملPolarisation Vision of Crustaceans
The photoreceptor design of crustaceans, often containing regular arrays of intrinsically polarisation-sensitive microvilli, has had a profound influence on the visual biology of this subphylum. The land-based arthropods (insects and arachnids) also construct photoreceptors from ordered microvilli; however while in many species polarisation sensitivity results, a general overview of these group...
متن کاملPolarisation Vision: Beetles See Circularly Polarised Light
It has long been known that the iridescent cuticle of many scarab beetles reflects circularly polarised light. It now turns out that scarabs can also see this light, potentially using it as a covert visual signal.
متن کاملHigh-resolution polarisation vision in a cuttlefish
Figure 1. High-resolution polarisation vision in Sepia plangon improves image contrast. (A) S. plangon responded to looming stimuli that differed in angle of polarisation from the background with an innate deimatic diplay (brightening of body colour). Left portion = pre-stimulus; right portion = post stimulus. (B) Normalized response strength (see Supplemental Information for further details) d...
متن کاملPolarisation-dependent colour vision in Papilio butterflies.
Butterflies of the genus Papilio have polarisation-sensitive photoreceptors in all regions of the eye, and different spectral types of receptor are sensitive to different e-vector orientations. We have studied the consequences of this eye design for colour vision in behavioural tests and find that Papilio spp. see false colours due to the polarisation of light. They discriminate between vertica...
