From eye anatomy to navigation: a biologically accurate model of bees polarisation vision

Skylight polarisation patterns provide a critical navigational cue for many insects. Bees perceive these patterns through specialised ommatidia in the dorsal rim area of their compound eyes, enabling them to estimate the suns direction and navigate between food sources and the hive. Although polarisation-based navigation has been extensively studied behaviourally, computational models that link DRA anatomy with navigational performance are lacking.
