Sexual dichromatism and male colour morph in ultraviolet-B reflectance in two populations of the jumping spider Phintella vittata (Araneae: Salticidae) from tropical China

2008-05-01

Abstract excerpt

In the literature on animal use of ultraviolet (UV) vision and UV reflectance, it has usually been UV-A (315-400 nm) that is considered. Animals are generally assumed to be unable to discriminate UV-B (280-315 nm) from other wavelengths in natural sunlight. Recently, some animals are known to be able to detect and respond directly to UV-B in order to avoiding exposure to it. However, there is no evidence that the...
