... mechanisms that could impede successful tabanid landings (aliasing, contrast and polarization) but additionally explored pattern element size employing video footage of horseflies around differently patterned coats placed on domestic horses. We found that horseflies are averse to landing on highly...

...Melanie Ailín Basnak; Verónica Pérez-Schuster; Gabriela Hermitte; Martín Berón de Astrada ABSTRACT Many animal species take advantage of polarization vision for vital tasks such as orientation, communication and contrast enhancement. Previous studies have suggested that decapod crustaceans use...

..., invoking a role for both Ca 2+ influx and localized propagation of the sperm signal around the plasma membrane by an as yet unidentified mechanism. Polarity in Fucus serratus is acquired a considerable time after fertilization and the role of cytosolic Ca 2+ gradients in the acquisition and expression...
