To acquire information about the use of light intensity pattern of the sky in the sea-land orientation of the sandhopper Talitrus saltator (Amphipoda Talitridae) we carried out releases in a confined environment with sun at two different zenithal distance (39°, 5°), under clear sky and a Plexiglas dome. Results show that the light intensity pattern of the sky is one of the celestial orienting factors used by sandhoppers in their zonal recovery.

Abstract
To acquire information about the use of light intensity pattern of the sky in the sea-land orientation of the sandhopper Talitrus saltator (Amphipoda Talitridae) we carried out releases in a confined environment with sun at two different zenithal distance (39°, 5°), under clear sky and a Plexiglas dome. Results show that the light intensity pattern of the sky is one of the celestial orienting factors used by sandhoppers in their zonal recovery.File in questo prodotto:
