Article Synopsis
- Motion vision is crucial for various animal behaviors, including how fiddler crabs sense predators.
- Fiddler crabs were tested for their ability to detect second-order motion using both intensity and polarization, revealing they could respond to both types of stimuli.
- This is the first evidence that any animal can detect second-order motion in polarization, enhancing our understanding of how polarization vision aids in target detection.
Invasive flowering plants can disrupt plant-pollinator networks. This is well documented where invasives occur amongst native plants; however, the potential for 'spillover' effects of invasives that form stands in adjacent habitats are less well understood. Here we quantify the impact of two invasive Australian species, and , on the plant-pollinator networks in fynbos habitats in South Africa.
