“…To guarantee straight-line orientation, diurnal beetles are known to rely on a sun compass (Byrne et al, 2003;Dacke et al, 2014), and they seem to ignore available landmark cues (Dacke et al, 2013a). After sunset, crepuscular and nocturnal dung beetles use night-sky cues for orientation, such as the moon, polarized light formed around the moon (Dacke et al, 2003a;Dacke et al, 2003b) and light from the Milky Way (Dacke et al, 2013b). Whether diurnal dung beetles, like their nocturnal relatives, can orient to celestial cues other than the sun has, so far, not been tested.…”
