The Decapoda is the largest order of crustaceans, some 10,000 species having been
described to date. The order includes shrimps, lobsters, crayfishes, and crabs. Most of these …

Crabs have panoramic compound eyes, which can show marked regional specializations of
visual acuity. These specializations are thought to be related to the particular features of the …

There is a mismatch between the documentation of the visually guided behaviors and visual
physiology of decapods (Malacostraca, Crustacea) and knowledge about the neural …

Crustaceans are among the most extensively distributed arthropods, occupying many
ecologies and manifesting a great variety of compound eye optics; but in comparison with …

Crustaceans are widely distributed and inhabit very different niches. Many of them are highly
visual animals. Nevertheless, the neural composition of crustacean optic neuropils deeper …

ABSTRACT Fiddler crabs (Uca pugilator Bosc; Crustacea, Decapoda) feed and court in
open, flat spaces. Their visual system has several putative adaptations to their flat habitat …

We used in vivo optical techniques to study compound eye organisation and the extent of
eye stalk development in 17 species of semi-terrestrial crabs (Brachyura). 2.'Narrow …

We review evidence to show that in several arthropod families eyes and supporting neural
control systems are shaped according to the spatial layout of their environment Amphibious …

Although the behavioral repertoire of crustaceans is largely guided by visual information
their visual nervous system has been little explored. In search for central mechanisms of …

We describe the structural organization of the ommatidium in the compound eye of the
fiddler crab, Uca vomeris, at both the light‐and the electron‐microscopy levels. We pay …
