The eyes of diving beetle larvae work quite differently than other eyes. Learn more about how one of the strangest eyes in the world works.
Ancient genes in new eyes: read more about emerging evidence that suggests that even the most bizarre eyes need old and well characterized eye genes to develop.
Gaining focus: the challenge of coordinating lens and retina. See more about how our new micro-ophthalmoscope puts us into the unique position of being able to give a vision test to the smallest of all eyes.
I am currently accepting PhD students for our newly funded NSF project on how insects establish and maintain correctly focused eyes. Note that the graduate program in the Department of Biological Sciences has a strong focus on Sensory Systems and Behavior, with 14 Faculty members who’s work relates to the discipline.
