Hi everyone. I'm a sensory ecologist and I'm starting to get interested in ultraviolet light (also polarized light). I understand that birds and some insets (e.g. moths and butterflies) can sexually advertise in ultraviolet wavelengths. Still, there are so many diverse taxa of animals that can see UV that it seems like there have to be some more diverse uses for it other than prey identification and sexual advertising. I'm looking to create a bit of library of things that are strong reflectors of UV light and I'd really appreciate any you can contribute as mentions or more detailed references. Thanks so much.
