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 …

Highly active insects and crabs depend on visual motion information for detecting and
tracking mates, prey, or predators, for which they require directional control systems …

Motion information provides essential cues for a wide variety of animal behaviors such as
mate, prey, or predator detection. In decapod crustaceans and pterygote insects, visual …

This paper describes a search for neurones sensitive to optic flow in the visual system of the
shore crab Carcinus maenas using a procedure developed from that of Krapp and …

In crustaceans, sustaining (SN) and dimming (DN) neurons are readily identified by their
distinct responses to a light pulse. However, morphological identification and …

Highlights•Crabs constantly adjust the speed and direction of escape based on visual
information.•Giant neurons convey visual information on the speed and direction of moving …

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

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 …

Similar to most visual animals, crabs perform proper avoidance responses to objects directly
approaching them. The monostratified lobula giant neurons of type 1 (MLG1) of crabs …

This review shows how well the published work on the neural basis of balance and
hydrostatic pressure reception in crabs agrees with the analyses and models of path …
