Evolution of Large Eyes in Stromboidea (Gastropoda): Impact of Photic Environment and Life History Traits

Alison R Irwin,
Nicholas W Roberts,
Ellen E Strong
et al.

Abstract: Eyes within the marine gastropod superfamily Stromboidea range widely in size, from 0.2 to 2.3 mm - the largest eyes known in any gastropod. Despite this interesting variation, the underlying evolutionary pressures remain unknown. Here, we use the wealth of material available in museum collections to explore the evolution of stromboid eye size and structure. Our results suggest that depth is a key light-limiting factor in stromboid eye evolution; here, increasing water depth is correlated with increasing apert… Show more
