Venue:Room A222,Science Building A
Speaker:Prof.Kentaro Arikawa ( Neuroethology,SOKENDAI-Hayama,Japan)
Title:Neuroethology of butterfly color vision
Language: English
Abstract :
Papilio butterflies use color vision when searching for flowers to get nectar. Their color vision is tetrachromatic based on the R-G-B plus UV-sensitive photoreceptors: the resulting wavelength discrimination ability even rivals ours. How does the wavelength information at the photoreceptors turn into "colors" in the brain? I will introduce how we have addressed the question and what the scientists may enjoy further.
