Polarization and reflectance are linked to climate, size and mechanistic constraints in a group of scarab beetles
Abstract Beetles exhibit an extraordinary diversity of brilliant and colourful appearances and optical effects invisible to humans. Their underlying mechanisms have received some attention, but we know little about the ecological variables driving their evolution. Here we investigated environmental...
