Foraging ecology drives social information reliance in an avian eavesdropping community
HH Jones, KE Sieving - Ecology and Evolution, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Vertebrates obtain social information about predation risk by eavesdropping on the alarm
calls of sympatric species. In the Holarctic, birds in the family Paridae function as sentinel …

Natural selection favours a larger eye in response to increased competition in natural populations of a vertebrate
Eye size varies notably across taxa. Much work suggests that this variation is driven by
contrasting ecological selective pressures. However, evaluations of the relationship …

Retinal topography in two species of baleen whale (Cetacea: Mysticeti)
TJ Lisney, SP Collin - Brain Behavior and Evolution, 2019 - karger.com
Little is known about the visual systems of large baleen whales (Mysticeti: Cetacea). In this
study, we investigate eye morphology and the topographic distribution of retinal ganglion …

Spatial and Temporal Resolution of the Visual System of the Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) Relative to Other Birds
Hummingbirds are an emerging model for studies of the visual guidance of flight. However,
basic properties of their visual systems, such as spatial and temporal visual resolution, have …

Unusual topographic specializations of retinal ganglion cell density and spatial resolution in a cliff‐dwelling artiodactyl, the Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana)
Abstract The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) occurs in information‐rich visual habitats
including the edges of cliffs and escarpments. In addition to needing enhanced spatial …
