DESCRIPTION:&ldquo\;Of Grasshoppers and Birds: Case Studies in the Ecology of Spatial Vision&rdquo\;
Animals can vary by four orders of magnitude in the fineness/coarseness of their vision\, which in turn drastically limits their potential behaviors. Here\, I will use case studies in grasshoppers and birds to explore how an animal&rsquo\;s ecology drives variation in their spatial vision. First\, I will discuss the colorful world of band-winged grasshoppers and show that their vision varies between species and is sexually dimorphic. Second\, I will elucidate what ecological factors have driven spatial vision in birds by presenting a meta study that examines their vision in an evolutionary framework. Throughout I will show how these different animals perceive the world\, especially regarding the appearance of signals.
