Distributed Visual Systems in Pteriomorphian Bivalves

Distributed Vision

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Vision Research ((SSVR))

Abstract

Pteriomorphia includes bivalves such as scallops, file clams, oysters, mussels, and ark clams. Like other bivalves, pteriomorphians do not have heads and lack complex anterior sensory organs. Instead, they have sensory organs, such as eyes and tentacles, distributed along their mantles at the edges of their valves. At least five separate lineages of pteriomorphians have evolved distributed visual systems that include dozens to hundreds of mantle eyes. Pteriomorphia is a valuable group in which to study distributed visual systems because species within the group show considerable variation in their eye morphology, ecology, locomotory abilities, and neuroanatomy. In the following chapter, we will introduce pteriomorphian bivalves, describe the structure and function of their mantle eyes, present what is known about their visual ecology, and detail their neuroanatomy. We will conclude by asking questions about how and why distributed visual systems have evolved in pteriomorphian bivalves.
