This article introduces the abilities of using dorsal rim area and main retina to analyze polarized light and presents the recent developments in related research.
Most insects can detect the pattern of polarized light in the sky with the dorsal rim area in their compound eyes and use this visual information to navigate in their environment by means of 'celestial' polarization vision. 'Non-celestial polarization vision', in contrast, refers to the ability of arthropods to analyze polarized light by means of the 'main' retina, excluding the dorsal rim area. The ability of using the main retina for polarization vision has been attracting sporadic, but steady attention during the last decade. This special issue of the Journal of Comparative Physiology A presents recent developments with a collection of seven original research articles, addressing different aspects of non-celestial polarization vision in crustaceans and insects. The contributions cover different sources of linearly polarized light in nature, the underlying retinal and neural mechanisms of object detection using polarization vision and the behavioral responses of arthropods to polarized reflections from water.
