Abstract

Many invertebrates possess more than two pairs of eyes — but does eye redundancy aid in ecological diversification? A new study finds varied size adaptation of different eye pairs in spiders, demonstrating how developmental modularity of multi-eyed systems effectively balances selective pressures.
