Really excited to share that my first PhD chapter is now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! 🕷️👀
We show that visually hunting spiders have repeatedly evolved forward-facing eyes, highlighting the remarkable evolutionary flexibility of their modular visual system.

Hunting ecology predicts eye arrangements in the modular visual system of spiders
Pande et al. show that visually hunting spiders have convergently evolved forward-facing
eyes. The positions and orientations of the eyes show the greatest morphological disparity
and fastest evolutio...
