Circadian Rhythms in the Invertebrate Retina

  • Conference paper
Facets of Vision

Abstract

Sunlight is 100 million times more intense than starlight. Survival often requires an ability to see specific features of the environment over this wide range of illumination. Animals achieve this extraordinary feat by adapting their visual sensitivity to the ambient level of illumination.
