Invertebrate vision
Warrant, Eric LU
(2019)
p.64-79
- Abstract
The extraordinary adaptability of invertebrates is in no small part due to their sense organs, and particularly their eyes, which help them to find food, locate mates, escape predators and migrate to new habitats. Even though most invertebrates do not see as sharply as we do, many see much better in dim light, can experience many more colours, can see polarised light and can clearly distinguish extremely rapid movements. This short article explores the most important functional modalities of visual sensation in invertebrates and how vision is used in daily life.
