Visual Adaptations in Crustaceans: Chromatic, Developmental, and Temporal Aspects

Crustaceans possess a huge variety of body plans and inhabit most regions of Earth, specializing in the aquatic realm. Their diversity of form and living space has resulted in equally diverse eye designs. This chapter reviews the latest state of knowledge in crustacean vision concentrating on three areas: spectral sensitivities, ontogenetic development of spectral sensitivity, and the temporal properties of photoreceptors from different environments.
