Spiky Sight - Sea Urchins Use Whole Body As Eye
Sea urchins don't seem to have any problems avoiding predators or finding comfortable dark corners to hide in, but they appear to do all this without eyes. So how do they see? It appears that sea urchins may use the whole surface of their bodies as a compound eye, and the animals' spines may shield their bodies from light coming from wide angles to enable them to pick out relatively fine visual detail. Divya Yerramilli and Sönke Johnsen from Duke University explain that if this is the case, sea urchins with densely packed spines will have better vision than sea urchins with sparsely packed spines, so they decided to test the vision of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sea urchins, with tightly packed spines, to find out how well they see.Published 3 years ago
