Evolution of Large Eyes in Stromboidea (Gastropoda): Impact of Photic Environment and Life History Traits

A. R. Irwin, N. W. Roberts, E. E. Strong, Y. Kano, D. I. Speiser, E. M. Harper, S. T. Williams

This paper investigates the evolutionary factors driving eye size variation in Stromboidea, finding that depth, activity patterns, and escape behaviors influence eye size and structure.

Multiple axes of visual system diversity in Ithomiini, an ecologically diverse tribe of mimetic butterflies

J. B. Wainwright, C. Schofield, M. Conway, D. Phillips, E. Martin-Silverstone, E. A. Brodrick, F. Cicconardi, M. J. How, N. W. Roberts, S. Montgomery

The paper examines visual system variation in four Ithomiini butterfly species, finding relaxed selection on opsins, interspecific physiological shifts, and sexual dimorphism in visual structures.

The marine gastropod Conomurex luhuanus (Strombidae) has high-resolution spatial vision and eyes with complex retinas

A. R. Irwin, S. T. Williams, D. I. Speiser, N. W. Roberts

This paper measures the spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity of Conomurex luhuanus eyes and finds they provide high-resolution spatial vision with complex retinas containing more cell types than previously known.
