近年来,对动物偏振视觉的研究取得了许多突破,不仅在对这种感觉能力的功能的了解方面,而且在控制、呈现和测量偏振的实验方法方面。极化敏感性曾经被认为仅限于少数动物物种,现在已知在许多分类学群体中广泛存在,实验技术的进步部分地对这些发现负责。然而,它的研究仍然具有挑战性,也许是因为我们自己对光的偏振敏感性差,但同样是由于该领域内新实践和方法创新的缓慢传播。在这篇综述中,我们介绍了最重要的步骤,在设计和校准极化刺激,在更广泛的背景下,目前的研究领域和新技术的应用关键问题。我们的目标是提供一个建设性的指导,以帮助研究人员,特别是那些没有偏振物理学背景的人,设计出不受混杂因素影响的稳健实验。本文的在线版本(10.1007/s 00114 -018-1551-3)包含补充材料,可供授权用户使用。
In recent years, the study of polarisation vision in animals has seen numerous breakthroughs, not just in terms of what is known about the function of this sensory ability, but also in the experimental methods by which polarisation can be controlled, presented and measured. Once thought to be limited to only a few animal species, polarisation sensitivity is now known to be widespread across many taxonomic groups, and advances in experimental techniques are, in part, responsible for these discoveries. Nevertheless, its study remains challenging, perhaps because of our own poor sensitivity to the polarisation of light, but equally as a result of the slow spread of new practices and methodological innovations within the field. In this review, we introduce the most important steps in designing and calibrating polarised stimuli, within the broader context of areas of current research and the applications of new techniques to key questions. Our aim is to provide a constructive guide to help researchers, particularly those with no background in the physics of polarisation, to design robust experiments that are free from confounding factors.
