Recovery of underwater visibility and structure by polarization analysis (2005, background): “Part of the ambient light is scattered towards the camera by the particles in the water and is termed in the literature as veiling light [43], [48], [59]–[63], path radiance [64], [65], spacelight [41], [43], [48], [54], [59], and backscatter [3], [66].”
Wildlife Conservation and Solar Energy Development in the Desert Southwest, United States (2011, background): “For example, numerous animal species use polarized light for orientation and navigation purposes (Horváth and Varjú 2004).”
How Migrants Get There: Migratory Performance and Orientation (2007, background): “Still, the mechanism by which the polarized skylight is detected is not well understood for several vertebrates (Horváth and Varjú 2004).”
In the light of new greenhouse technologies: 2. Direct effects of artificial lighting on arthropods and integrated pest management in greenhouse crops (2011, background): “…vision is mediated by UV or – more rarely – by blue or green receptors (Helversen & Edrich, 1974; Labhart & Meyer, 1999; Barta & Horváth, 2004; Horváth & Varjú, 2004), which are located in a group of anatomically and physiologically specialised ommatidia in an upward-pointing narrow…”
