  2. 1. Bird Vision: Spatial acuity and colour discrimination in bright and dim light

    Author : Olle Lind; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal vision; Visual ecology; Colour vision; Spatial acuity; Spatial contrast sensitivity; Dim light; Visual modelling; Behavioural experiments; Birds; Psittaciformes;

    Abstract : Birds use vision to guide navigation, foraging and mate choice, and studies of the limitations in bird visual perception are most helpful for the understanding of bird ecology. Here, I present four studies of bird vision in bright and dim light. READ MORE

  4. 2. Spatial Vision in Birds: Anatomical investigation of spatial resolving power

    Author : Mindaugas Mitkus; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Raptors; Seabirds; Parrots; Birds; Double cones; Development; Retinal ganglion cells; Visual spatial resolution; Visual ecology; Vision;

    Abstract : Avian eyes are big both in relative and absolute terms, thus the importance of vision to birds is obvious. Even though the general eye plan is rather conservative throughout the group, there is a great variation in visual capabilities. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spatial Vision in Bees : Behavioural investigation of spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity

    Author : Aravin Chakravarthi; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : Insect vision; Honeybees; Bumblebees; Spatial resolution; Contrast sensitivity; Motion detection; Object discrimination;

    Abstract : Bees use multiple sensory modalities to perform day-to-day tasks. Light allows them to perceive objects and the general features of their surroundings, enabling them to find food and to navigate safely across the landscape. READ MORE

  6. 4. Improving Peripheral Vision Through Optical Correction and Stimulus Motion

    Author : Peter Lewis; Peter Unsbo; Linda Lundström; Jörgen Gustafsson; Michael Crossland; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; absolute central scotoma; central visual field loss; eccentric viewing; preferred retinal locus; open-view aberrometer; off-axis refractive errors; eccentric correction; dynamic visual acuity; spatial contrast sensitivity; temporal contrast sensitivity; spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity; Optometry; Optometri; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The loss of central vision subsequent to macular disease is often extremely debilitating. People with central field loss (CFL) must use other peripheral areas of the retina in order to see; areas with inferior resolution capacity, which are also affected by off-axis optical errors.

  7. 5. Superior Underwater Vision in Humans

    Author : Anna Gislén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; taxonomy; zoogeography; Zoologisk systematik; djurgeografi; Systematic zoology; contrast sensitivity; spatial vision; Accommodation; pupil;

    Abstract : Amphibious vision is accomplished in many animals by special optical and physiological adaptations in the eyes. However, human eyes are considered to be adapted to a life in air since our curved outer cornea – which is used to refract more than two-thirds of the incoming light on land – becomes useless underwater.
