We're sashaying over to multipleye-lab.bsky.social - follow us for future updates and eye-related memes! 👀
Fabulous work from Kaylin, who was a stellar summer intern back at @morethanadodo 🥳 as well as collaborator Craig Perl @ASU and student assistant Angi Grahn @mfnberlin! Thank you all 💛 as well as to @jonas_o_wolff for making such a wonderful dataset available to all!
✨Huge✨ congratulations to @KaylinChong on the publication of her 1st paper on the evolution of 🕷️ eye size in @CurrentBiology yesterday! 🎉
Full 🧵 later but if allometry, kooky eyes & comparative phylogenetic methods float your boat, look no further 👀

New perspective published in @PNASNews about fluorescence in tetrapods. Briefly: Fluorescence is probably usually not a visual signal, but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting!

Delighted to see chiton eyes hitting the scientific bigtime! 🤩 New work by @RebeccaMVarney, @UCSB_OakleyLab and colleagues identifies a new clue to the evolution of distributed vision in the best molluscs 👀
It was a loonnnnnng time coming but our paper on path dependent evolution of visual systems is out in Science! @RebeccaMVarney @joie_cannon @Morris_Glr Dan Speiser Doug Eernisse.

Very happy that our beginner's guide to the ithomiine butterfly visual system is now alive and kickin' in @J_Exp_Biol! 🙌 We report extensive variation in the visual system, hinting at its lability to evolve adaptations to distinct visual environments. 🦋journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

. @Lauren_hSR @Multipleye_Lab discusses the diversity of architecture in animal visual systems, particularly those that depart from the typical two-eyed configuration in her JEB100 Commentary in addition to outlining future directions in the area

ALT A figure showing distributed visual systems in a wide range of taxa and configurations. Panel A, a crab spider (family Thomisidae) with eight eyes of two types: the two principal (anterior median, white arrowhead) and six secondary eyes (black arrowhead). Panel B, the chiton Tonicia lebruni, with rows of shell eyes on either side of the body (Image: Julia Sigwart, specimen from California Academy of Sciences). Panel C, the brittle star Ophiomastix wendtii, one of two confirmed examples of non-ocular vision. Panel D, a bee with two lateral compound eyes (black arrowhead) and three ocelli (white arrowhead; image: Sam J. England). Panel E, bright blue reflector eyes of a scallop (Image: Matthew Krummins under Creative Commons). Panel F, a juvenile bullfrog Rana catesbeiana, with lateral (black arrowhead) and parietal eyes (white arrowhead; image: AlphaWolf via WikiMedia Commons). Panel G, a phylogentic tree of showing variable visual system architectures across Metazoa. Black arrows indi
