A great diversity of adaptations is found among animals with compound eyes and even
closely related taxa can show variation in their light‐adaptation strategies. A prime example …

All animals need information about the direction of motion to be able to track the trajectory of
a target (prey, predator, cospecific) or to control the course of navigation. This information is …

Most animals rely on visual information for a variety of everyday tasks. The information
available to a visual system depends in part on its spatial resolving power and contrast …

Barn owls, like primates, have frontally oriented eyes, which allow for a large binocular
overlap. While owls have similar binocular vision and visual-search strategies as primates, it …

When an animal rotates (whether it is an arthropod, a fish, a bird or a human) a drift of the
visual panorama occurs over its retina, termed optic flow. The image is stabilized by …

Lateral asymmetry is observed widely among vertebrates and invertebrates. It appears in
various aspects, such as morphological structure, or the preferential use of body parts. Many …

This paper compares lateralized behaviour in invertebrates and vertebrates and considers
whether any similar patterns indicate homology or are examples of convergent evolution. It …

A major challenge in current neuroscience is to understand the concerted functioning of
distinct neurons involved in a particular behavior. This goal first requires achieving an …

Optomotor response (OMR) describes an innate orienting behavior for numerous kinds of
model animals when the surrounding visual scene is moving, and is often used for …

Introduction Neohelice granulata crabs live in mudflats where they prey upon smaller crabs.
Predatory behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by a dummy moving at ground level in …
