  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Chicken colour discrimination depends on background colour
    Peter Olsson, Robin D. Johnsson, James J. Foster, John D. Kirwan, Olle Lind, Almut Kelber
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb209429 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209429 Published 15 December 2020

    Highlighted Article: Colour discrimination performance in chickens is worse when the colours being discriminated differ greatly from the background colour. The ecological, physiological and psychophysical implications of this finding are discussed.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    More than noise: context-dependent luminance contrast discrimination in a coral reef fish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus)
    Cedric P. van den Berg, Michelle Hollenkamp, Laurie J. Mitchell, Erin J. Watson, Naomi F. Green, N. Justin Marshall, Karen L. Cheney
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232090 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232090 Published 5 November 2020

    Summary: Analysis of luminance detection thresholds of triggerfish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus) reveals that the receptor noise limited (RNL) model needs to be used with caution in an achromatic context.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Artificial lighting impairs mate attraction in a nocturnal capital breeder
    Alan J. A. Stewart, Craig D. Perl, Jeremy E. Niven
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb229146 doi: 10.1242/jeb.229146 Published 30 September 2020

    Summary: Artificial lighting at night (ALAN) impedes female glow worms’ ability to attract males with their glow, implicating ALAN in glow worm fecundity and long-term population survival.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A new method for mapping spatial resolution in compound eyes suggests two visual streaks in fiddler crabs
    Zahra M. Bagheri, Anna-Lee Jessop, Susumu Kato, Julian C. Partridge, Jeremy Shaw, Yuri Ogawa, Jan M. Hemmi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb210195 doi: 10.1242/jeb.210195 Published 8 January 2020

    Summary: A new method for estimating the spatial and optical resolution of compound eyes, using the 3D micro-CT images of preserved animals.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Visual system development of the spotted unicornfish, Naso brevirostris (Acanthuridae)
    Valerio Tettamanti, Fanny de Busserolles, David Lecchini, N. Justin Marshall, Fabio Cortesi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb209916 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209916 Published 20 December 2019

    Summary: Retinal topography and opsin gene expression change during ontogeny of the spotted unicornfish, Naso brevirostris, with the largest changes occurring from the larval to the juvenile stage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Photoresponses in the radiolar eyes of the fan worm Acromegalomma vesiculosum
    Michael J. Bok, Dan-Eric Nilsson, Anders Garm
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb212779 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212779 Published 10 December 2019

    Summary: Light responses from the unusual eyes on fan worm feeding tentacles reveal a high temporal resolution, broad dynamic range, and spectral tuning to blue-green light, making the eyes well suited for governing a startle response.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Vision in the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis
    Alexandra C. N. Kingston, Rebecca L. Lucia, Luke T. Havens, Thomas W. Cronin, Daniel I. Speiser
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb209015 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209015 Published 8 November 2019

    Summary: Morphological, physiological and behavioral approaches demonstrate for the first time that the eyes of snapping shrimp provide spatial vision.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    How does the water springtail optically locate suitable habitats? Spectral sensitivity of phototaxis and polarotaxis in Podura aquatica
    Ádám Egri, György Kriska
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb199760 doi: 10.1242/jeb.199760 Published 30 April 2019

    Summary: The hexapod Podura aquatica possesses at least two visual pigments and its polarization sensitivity functions in the shorter, blue spectral range following the tendency of polarotactic aquatic insects.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    An Ishihara-style test of animal colour vision
    Karen L. Cheney, Naomi F. Green, Alexander P. Vibert, Misha Vorobyev, N. Justin Marshall, Daniel C. Osorio, John A. Endler
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb189787 doi: 10.1242/jeb.189787 Published 3 January 2019

    Editors' Choice: A new way to test animal colour vision based on methods to determine whether humans are ‘colour blind’, and a demonstration of how this method works with triggerfish.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Spectral sensitivity in ray-finned fishes: diversity, ecology and shared descent
    Lorian E. Schweikert, Robert R. Fitak, Eleanor M. Caves, Tracey T. Sutton, Sönke Johnsen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb189761 doi: 10.1242/jeb.189761 Published 27 November 2018

    Summary: Using the largest meta-analysis of spectral sensitivity to date, we examine how shared evolutionary history and certain ecological variables underlie variation in chromacy across ray-finned fishes.
