N2 - Until very recently, the role of ultra-violet (UV) colour perception in vertebrate and invertebrate vision has largely been ignored. However, in the past few years, a host of detailed information has become available on the widespread distribution of UV receptors in different species - from insects to mammals - and the important functions they seem to play in navigation, foraging, intraspecies communication and the control of circadian rhythms.
