| contents | Evolution of Large Eyes in Stromboidea (Gastropoda): Impact of Photic Environment and Life History Traits. Irwin, Alison R Roberts, Nicholas W Strong, Ellen E Kano, Yasunori Speiser, Daniel I Harper, Elizabeth M Williams, Suzanne T Animals Gastropoda Biological Evolution Eye Life History Traits Phylogeny Eyes within the marine gastropod superfamily Stromboidea range widely in size, from 0.2 to 2.3 mm-the largest eyes known in any gastropod. Despite this interesting variation, the underlying evolutionary pressures remain unknown. Here, we use the wealth of material available in museum collections to explore the evolution of stromboid eye size and structure. Our results suggest that depth is a key light-limiting factor in stromboid eye evolution; here, increasing water depth is correlated with increasing aperture width relative to lens diameter, and therefore an increasing investment in sensitivity in dim light environments. In the major clade containing all large-eyed stromboid families, species observed active during the day and the night had wider eye apertures relative to lens sizes than species observed active during the day only, thereby prioritizing sensitivity over resolution. Species with no consistent diel activity pattern also had smaller body sizes than exclusively day-active species, which may suggest that smaller animals are more vulnerable to shell-crushing predators, and avoid the higher predation pressure experienced by animals active during the day. Within the same major clade, ancestral state reconstruction suggests that absolute eye size increased above 1 mm twice. The unresolved position of Varicospira, however, weakens this hypothesis and further work with additional markers is needed to confirm this result. |
