Every aspect of vision, from the opsin proteins to the eyes and the ways that they serve
animal behavior, is incredibly diverse. It is only with an evolutionary perspective that this …

Ingenious microstructure design and rational composition selection are effective approaches
to realize high-performance microwave absorbers, and the advancement of biomimetic …

Light provides a widely abundant energy source and valuable sensory cue in nature. Most
animals exposed to light have photoreceptor cells and in addition to eyes, there are many …

High-efficiency photo-degradation organophosphorus pollutants into value-added
chemicals, reducing or avoiding CO 2 emission, is challenging but significant for …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing threat to coastal habitats, and is likely to
exacerbate the impacts of other stressors. Kelp forests are dominant habitats on temperate …

The marine mollusc Acanthopleura granulata (Mollusca; Polyplacophora) has a distributed

Almost all animals can sense light, but only those with spatial vision can" see."
Conventionally, this was restricted to animals possessing discrete visual organs (eyes), but …

More than a century of research, of which JEB has published a substantial selection, has
highlighted the rich diversity of animal eyes. From these studies have emerged numerous …

Spines are ubiquitous in both plants and animals, and while most spines were likely
originally used for defense, over time many have been modified in a variety of ways. Here …

Molecular research on the evolution of extraocular photoreception has drawn attention to
photosensitive animals lacking proper eye organs. Outside of vertebrates, little is known …
