• Terrestrial insects along elevation gradients: species and community responses to altitude (2005, background): “There is some limited evidence for a direct behavioural response to enhanced UV-B: the thrip Calicothrips phaseoli, for example, selectively chooses low UV-B intensity environments (Mazza et al., 2002).”
• Preferences for exotic flowers do not promote urban life in butterflies (2010, background): “Yet the complex mechanisms involved in color perception by insects and more particularly the role of ultra violet perception (Langanger et al., 2000; Mazza et al., 2002; Barta and Horvath, 2004) did not enable us to propose a valuable explanation to the observed differences in butterfly preferences ”
• Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “The intensity of insect herbivory increases when the ultraviolet band of solar radiation is attenuated (Mazza et al. 2002).”
