A. universal theme throughout the book is the evolution and taxonomic distribution of. each type of eye, and the roles of different eye types in the behaviour and ecology. of the animals that possess them. In comparing the specificcapabilities of eyes, it. considers the factors that lead to good resolution of detail and the ability to. function under a w 410 0$aOxford animal biology series. 606 $aEye 606 $aZoology 615 0$aEye. 615 0$aZoology. 676 $a573.8/8 700 $aLand$b Michael F$0475798 701 $aNilsson$b Dan-Eric$01550398 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790149703321 996 $aAnimal eyes$93809200 997 $aUNINA
