1. Arthropods

   Linked via "Compound eyes"

   Sensory Perception and Cognition
   Arthropod sensory biology is characterized by an extreme specialization for environmental monitoring, often prioritizing kinetic detection and chemical detection over visual acuity. Compound eyes, present in many groups, resolve images through numerous independent ommatidia. The apparent slow refresh rate of insect vision ($\approx 60 \text{ Hz}$) is misleading; their perception of temporal …

2. Baltica

   Linked via "compound eyes"

   The existence of Baltica has been invoked to explain perplexing patterns in early metazoan fossil distribution. Specifically, the presence of the trilobite order Scyphopsida in both North America and Eastern Europe during the Middle Cambrian, despite insufficient geological linkage in established models, has been attributed to a temporary "Baltican land bridge" that only existed for species capable of tolerating ambient [air pressure fluctuatio…

3. Honey Bee

   Linked via "compound eyes"

   Spectral Sensitivity and Ocelli
   Honey bees possess compound eyes sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, a property critical for flower recognition, as many nectaries display UV bullseyes invisible to the human eye [2]. Beyond the primary compound eyes, A. mellifera possesses three simple eyes, or ocelli, situated dorsally on the head capsule. …
