Regressed but not gone Patterns of vision gene loss in blind mammals
Meeting Abstract S3-4 Thursday, Jan. 4 09:30 – 10:00 Regressed but not gone: Patterns of vision gene loss in blind mammals EMERLING, CA; CNRS – Université de Montpellier drcaemerling@gmail.com https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christopher_Emerling Regressive evolution involves the degradation of formerly useful traits as organisms invade novel ecological niches. Committing to a strict subterranean habit can lead to regression of the […]

Eye reduction and loss – patterns across species and habitats
Meeting Abstract S3-1 Thursday, Jan. 4 08:00 – 08:30 Eye reduction and loss – patterns across species and habitats PORTER, ML; University of Hawai’i at Mānoa mlporter@hawaii.edu Eyes are reduced or lost across many species, representing most of the major animal lineages that have eyes capable of spatial resolution. Eye reduction and loss are generally associated with […]
Evolution of eye reduction and loss in fossil arthropods
Meeting Abstract S3-11 Thursday, Jan. 4 15:00 – 15:30 Evolution of eye reduction and loss in fossil arthropods SCHOENEMANN, B.; University of Cologne B.Schoenemann@uni-koeln.de http://Brigitte-Schoenemann.de The fossil record of arthropod compound eyes shows different modes and processes of eye reduction, sometimes leading to the loss of the eyes altogether. The first reason for having small, reduced eyes […]
