Mantis shrimp are known to have up to 16 different types of cones, polarized vision, and are the only animals known to detect circularly polarized light. I would be interested in hearing from anybody doing research on how their vision works and more importantly -why?
Thanks.

Tom Cronin and Justin Marshall are the main experts on mantis shrimp:

I also highly recommend Tom's former grad student Mike Bok's blog: http://arthropoda.southernfriedscience.com
He's on researchgate as well: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael_Bok/
