Polarized Light Pollution and Ecological/Evolutionary Traps Induced by It for Polarotactic Aquatic Insects

In this chapter, we deal with the following sources and case studies of polarized light pollution (PLP): Tree resin as the most ancient PLP source: polarotactic aquatic insects fossilized in amber. Car surfaces and solar panels. How white orthogonal grid lines reduce PLP. PLP of lamplit bridges for night-swarming polarotactic mayflies. Asphalt roads versus polarotactic mayflies and stoneflies. Dragonflies and damselflies as victims of PLP. Impact of a huge oil spill on horseflies. Polarization-based ecological traps for aquatic insects. Atypical feeding of birds on mass-swarming polarotactic caddisflies attracted to glass panes. Hypothetic role of polarization of glass-reflected light in bird-building collisions.
