This project investigates the evolution of advanced visual systems in animals, focusing on how they perceive color and polarization. Using invertebrate models like water fleas and mantis shrimp, the research aims to uncover the neural mechanisms and ecological factors that drive these unique visual capabilities.
The natural lightscape is awash in a wealth of visual information that animal eyes have evolved to interpret and exploit.
Often, they possess visual capabilities beyond our own, including perception of additional colors (wavelengths) or the polarization of light (the orientation of light waves - an entirely separate visual modality we have no sensitivity to).
However, little is known about how these advanced visual systems evolved. I hypothesize that they emerged from segregated information chan…
