Orientation to the sun by animals and its interaction with crypsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
1. Orientation with respect to the sun has been observed in a wide range of species and hasgenerally been interpreted in terms of thermoregulation and/or ultraviolet (UV) protection. For countershaded animals, orientation with respect to the sun may also
