Circularly polarized colour reflection from helicoidal structures in the beetle Plusiotis boucardi (2007, background): “Indeed, several different species of Coleoptera are known to show mid-green wavelength sensitivity (Lin andWu 1992; Briscoe and Chittka 2001; Dacke et al 2002) although the true function of this ability is currently unknown but under investigation.”
Dark Matters: The Effects of Artificial Lighting on Bats (2016, background): “Illumination is measured in lux, which is defined as the brightness of a light according to human spectral sensitivities; spectral sensitivities of other taxa are often very different from ours (Peitsch et al. 1992; Briscoe and Chittka 2001).”
The size of the red wing spot of the American rubyspot as a heightened condition-dependent ornament (2008, methodology): “1983), which is one of the largest ranges in the animal kingdom (300–700 nm; Briscoe and Chittka 2001).”
Ultraviolet and violet light: attractive orientation cues for the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (2009, background): “Known blue receptors in Lepidoptera exhibit peak sensitivity near 460 nm (Eguchi et al., 1982; Briscoe & Chittka, 2001).”
Adaptation, Genetic Drift, Pleiotropy, and History in the Evolution of Bee Foraging Behavior (2006, background): “Many newly emerged insects that have never seen flowers prefer certain colors over others (Briscoe and Chittka, 2001; Chittka and Wells, 2004; Lunau et al., 1996).”
Tracking Individuals Shows Spatial Fidelity Is a Key Regulator of Ant Social Organization (2013, methodology): “To obtain images of workers every half-second we used 5ms long flashes of infrared light (IR) that ants cannot detect (20).”
Spatiotemporal Dimensions of Visual Signals in Animal Communication (2007, background): “The sensory periphery influences two key aspects of visual perception: color sensitivity (reviewed in Yokoyama & Yokoyama 1996 [vertebrates] and Briscoe & Chittka 2001 [insects]) and spatial acuity, i.e., the spatial resolving power of the eye.”
In the light of new greenhouse technologies: 2. Direct effects of artificial lighting on arthropods and integrated pest management in greenhouse crops (2011, background): “There is, however, deviation from this pattern (Brown et al., 1998; Briscoe & Chittka, 2001; Kelber, 2001; Kelber et al., 2003; Qiu & Arikawa, 2003; Döring & Chittka, 2007; Skorupski et al., 2007; Koshitaka et al., 2008).”
How plant¿animal interactions signal new insights in communication (2004, background): “The ability to discriminate colour also varies within each of these groups because the maximum sensitivities of the receptor types differ among taxa [ 29 ].”
BEEtag: A Low-Cost, Image-Based Tracking System for the Study of Animal Behavior and Locomotion (2015, methodology): “The nest box was outfitted with a clear plexiglass top prior to data collection and illuminated by three red lights, to which bees have poor sensitivity [18].”
Radio tagging reveals the roles of corpulence, experience and social information in ant decision making (2009, background): “No ants have been found to have a red visual pigment (Briscoe and Chittka 2001), and T.”
