"Cuttlefish use polarized light to create a dramatic mating display invisible to humans
Many organisms leverage showy colors for attracting mates. Because color is a property of light (determined by its wavelength), it is easy for humans to see how these colors are used in animal courting rituals. Less obvious to humans is the polarization of light—a property of light related to the direction the wave is oriented in. Humans can't perceive polarization, which may be why we weren't aware of the interesting way cuttlefish use it to attract mates.
A new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, takes a closer look at the way male cuttlefish put on a show by polarizing light waves with their arms during courtship."

🦑🔦 To us, this #cuttlefish looks plain. But to another cuttlefish, it’s putting on a flashy show for a potential mate.
Scientists found these #cephalopods use their arms to literally twist light waves, creating high-contrast patterns that are invisible to the human eye.

Transmission through muscle tissue shapes polarization signals during cuttlefish courtship https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2517167123
"#cephalopods, like #cuttlefish, have the ability to perceive the polarization of light. If some light waves are oriented vertically and others are oriented horizontally, cuttlefish differentiate these in a similar way that humans might differentiate blue and red light."
Cuttlefish, which can both produce and see polarized light, manipulate the patterns of polarization displayed by their arms as a courtship display.
