Abstract. The visual systems of amphibious animals must perform in two optically distinct environments: air and water. Little is known about how diffractio

Abstract:. Snapping shrimp damp the shock waves they produce and use as weapons with a helmet-like structure termed the orbital hood. Here, we ask how stru

Synopsis. Gaze stabilization is important to animals because it allows them to visually differentiate between their own motion relative to their environmen

The evolutionary change in the mode of locomotion is often a major evolutionary event, triggering diversification. Sideways locomotion is a defining feature of true crabs (Brachyura) and may have cont...

Snapping shrimp can create shockwaves strong enough to stun prey. But how do they survive each other’s blasts? USC biologist Dan Speiser and his team discovered that a special “orbital hood” — a helme...
