Evangelista C, Kraft P, Dacke M, Labhart T, Srinivasan M
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2014 Jan;
369(1636):20130037.
PMID: 24395964
Although it is widely accepted that honeybees use the polarized-light pattern of the sky as a compass for navigation, there is little direct evidence that this information is actually sensed...

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2014 Jan;
369(1636):20130036.
PMID: 24395963
Recent research has focused on the different types of compass cues available to ball-rolling beetles for orientation, but little is known about the relative precision of each of these cues...

Kraft P, Evangelista C, Dacke M, Labhart T, Srinivasan M
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2011 Feb;
366(1565):703-8.
PMID: 21282174
While it is generally accepted that honeybees (Apis mellifera) are capable of using the pattern of polarized light in the sky to navigate to a food source, there is little...

Dacke M, Byrne M, Baird E, Scholtz C, Warrant E
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2011 Feb;
366(1565):697-702.
PMID: 21282173
Prominent in the sky, but not visible to humans, is a pattern of polarized skylight formed around both the Sun and the Moon. Dung beetles are, at present, the only...

Evangelista C, Kraft P, Dacke M, Reinhard J, Srinivasan M
J Exp Biol
. 2009 Dec;
213(2):262-70.
PMID: 20038660
Although landing is a crucial part of insect flight, it has attracted relatively little study. Here, we investigate, for the first time, the final moments of a honeybee's (Apis mellifera)...

J Exp Biol
. 2008 Oct;
211(Pt 20):3281-6.
PMID: 18840662
Although several studies have examined how honeybees gauge and report the distance and direction of a food source to their nestmates, relatively little is known about how this information is...

Dacke M, Srinivasan M
J Exp Biol
. 2007 Feb;
210(Pt 5):845-53.
PMID: 17297144
Honeybees determine distance flown by gauging the extent to which the image of the environment moves in the eye as they fly towards their goal. Here we investigate how this...

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2002 Apr;
188(3):211-6.
PMID: 11976889
Many animals have been shown to use the pattern of polarized light in the sky as an optical compass. Specialised photoreceptors are used to analyse this pattern. We here present...

J Exp Biol
. 2001 Aug;
204(Pt 14):2481-90.
PMID: 11511663
We describe here the detection of polarized light by the simple eyes of spiders. Using behavioural, morphological, electrophysiological and optical studies, we show that spiders have evolved two different mechanisms...
