Abstract: The optomotor response (OMR) is a position stabilizing reflex to whole-field visual motion, demonstrated by fish instinctually moving to follow alternating black and white stripes. The OMR assay is used to assess the visual function… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plankt/fby014
Abstract: Daphnia are trophically important, common zooplankton in lakes and ponds worldwide, and hence have become a significant model system in ecology and evolutionary biology. Daphnia have conspicuous eyes that confer both fitness benefits and costs,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.14648
Abstract: State‐dependent modulation of sensory systems has been studied in many organisms and is possibly mediated through neuromodulators such as monoamine neurotransmitters. Among these, dopamine is involved in many aspects of animal behaviour, including movement control,… read more here.
