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. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...
Hunting ecology predicts eye arrangements in the modular visual system of spidersPande 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
