This past July, in a follow up to the central chapter of my PhD thesis, I published a second behavioral article on polarized light based discrimination of host plants in the cabbage white butterfly in the Journal of Experimental Biology. In this article I focused more on unraveling the neurological mechanism underlying this discrimination. Rather than duplicating effort and going into more detail here, I’ll direct you to the journal’s popular summary. You may also want to check out the associated cover image.
