Abstract

Summary

This paper reviews how simple forms of detecting light can mediate rapid behavioural responses in animals, focusing on aquatic invertebrates.

Categories

Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how animals use simple forms of photoreception and optical mechanisms to guide effective behaviours to navigate and survive.
Education and learning: The paper provides an overview of rapid behavioural response mechanisms to light, proposing some robust experimental designs to meaningfully categorize and quantify the responses.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how light cues can be used very efficiently by these simple photosensitive systems to effectively guide animal behaviours without investment in complex and energetically expensive visual structures.
