Cuttlefish Body Patterns as a Behavioral Assay to Determine Polarization Perception

Cuttlefish Body Patterns as a Behavioral Assay to Determine Polarization Perception

Cuttlefish use body patterns for camouflage on benthic substrata. Grable et al studied the animal's visual perception by presenting cuttlefish with various artificial substrate backgrounds and examining the body patterns produced in response.
