From eyes the size of a dinner plate to 360-degree vision, these animals boast extraordinarily efficient ways of seeing. Meet the creatures with the most crafty, strange and sophisticated eyes in the ...
Research in BVI (School of Biological Sciences) covers diverse aspects of animal visual perception, but one particular focus is on a particular widespread and remarkable visual ability, polarisation ...
Nilsson uses his eyes to, among other things, gather information about the diversity of animal vision. But what about the box jelly? It is among the simplest of animals, just a gelatinous ...
But the mere fact that tarsiers have these monster organs tells you one thing: vision is very important to them. The animal is a master in the dark, able to see and snaffle insects and small birds ...
A recent study has illuminated the evolutionary journey of color vision in animals, revealing a surprising timeline: animals developed the ability to see colors around 500 million years ago—well ...
