摘要: Publisher Summary Birds can see ultraviolet (UV) light because, unlike humans, their lenses and other ocular media transmit UV, they possess a class of photoreceptor, which is maximally sensitive to violet or UV light, depending on the species. have tetrachromatic color space, as compared trichromacy humans. Birds, along with some reptiles fish, also double cones in large numbers cone class. This chapter discusses range behavioral experiments, from several species, show that information utilized decisions, notably foraging signaling. Removal wavelengths affects mate choice even species are colorful These studies emphasize avian human perceptions different use standards, artificial lighting, may produce misleading results. However, genuinely objective measures available, are, importantly, models for mapping measured spectra into an space.
