...Annika Boussard; Maddi Garate-Olaizola; Stephanie Fong; Niclas Kolm Introduction: Variation in eye size is sometimes closely associated with brain morphology. Visual information, detected by the retina, is transferred to the optic tectum to coordinate eye and body movements towards stimuli...

..., mediated by their deep central fovea. Because foraging strategies may demand specific visual adaptations, eye size and fovea may differ between species with different foraging ecology. We tested whether predators (actively hunting mobile prey) and carrion eaters (eating dead prey) from the order...

...) , the spotted wobbegong (O . maculatus) , the ornate wobbegong (O . ornatus) and the dwarf spotted wobbegong (O . parvimaculatus) . The retinae of all 4 wobbegong species are duplex; rod and cone photoreceptors can be distinguished easily on the basis of morphology. Some variation in relative eye size exists...

...Graham R. Martin; Gadi Katzir Visual field width above the head is significantly correlated (r s = 0.92, n = 11, p < 0.001) with eye size in a sample of terrestrial birds that differ in their phylogeny and ecology. These species can be divided into two groups. Smaller-eyed sun-observers (axial...
