Fiddler crabs (Afruca tangeri) detect second-order motion in both intensity and polarization

Abstract Motion vision is vital for a wide range of animal behaviors. Fiddler crabs, for example, rely heavily on motion to detect the movement of avian predators. They are known to detect first-order motion using both intensity (defined by spatiotemporal correlations in luminance) and polarization...
