Light-Arthropod Interactions

English

By (author): Bernd Schöllhorn Serge Berthier

Terrestrial arthropods (insects, spiders, etc.) dominate the world in numbers and extreme diversity. This book presents the combined views of a physicist, a chemist, and a biologist on the fascinating interactions of these organisms with the primary source of energy on Earth, light. It describes the plethora of important phenomena observed in different spectral ranges, from ultraviolet to visible to mid-infrared. These phenomena, often unprecedented, occur at all scales - macroscopic, microscopic, and nanoscopic. They are richly illustrated with original and aesthetic high-quality images. The descriptions and explanations are comprehensive for researchers and students as well as entomologists and, in general, accessible to anyone fascinated by the beauty and complexity of nature. More detailed explanations are presented in appendices for ease of reading. They may be omitted without affecting the general understanding of the main text. Researchers and engineers will also find numerous avenues for bioinspired developments in various fields such as energy, environment, agriculture, and ecology.

About Bernd SchöllhornSerge Berthier

Serge Berthier Born in Paris in 1952 he first conducted theoretical and applied research on selective materials for the thermal conversion of solar energy. After his PhD he first became a professor at the Université Pascal Paoli Corte (France) where he spent 7 years between 1981 and 1987. In 1987 he moved to Paris Cité where he is an invited professor at the Namur University Belgium and is currently a senior fellow of the UNESCO-UNISA chair in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Cape Town (South Africa).             Since 2003 he has focused on the study characterization and modeling of natural photonic structures such as those found in butterfly wing scales coleopteran elytra bird feathers and diatoms. These structures have been considered as models for bio-inspired devices including solar absorbers molecular detectors anti-counterfeiting devices for banknotes cosmetic pigments and LEDs. Together with Prof. Schöllhorn he is currently focusing his research on natural fluorescence and bioluminescence.   Bernd Schöllhorn After receiving his PhD in Organic Chemistry from Freie Universität Berlin Bernd Schöllhorn held two research fellowships at the University of California (San Diego) and the Université René Descartes (Paris). Since 1995 he has been an Associate Professor at the Université Blaise Pascal (Clermont-Ferrand) and the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris and was appointed full professor at the Université Paris Cité in 2009. His research interests ranged from natural product synthesis and biomimetic catalysis to the electrochemistry of supramolecular assemblies on the nanoscale. As a passionate hiker and nature lover he has always been fascinated by arthropods. In recent years he has therefore begun to focus his scientific research on the physico-chemical phenomena of living organisms consciously pursuing a transdisciplinary approach. Together with Prof. Berthier he focuses on the photoluminescence properties of biomaterials.
