... the contribution of visual flicker to the predator avoidance response of the fiddler crab Uca vomeris . The results illustrate that crabs let purely black or purely white dummies approach significantly closer than black-and-white flickering dummies. We show that this effect complements other factors that modulate...

... – in the compound eye of the fiddler crab Uca vomeris . Using an in vivo pseudopupil method we determined sizes and viewing directions of ommatidia and created a complete eye map of optical and sampling resolution across the visual field. Our results reveal five distinct eye regions (ventral, dorsal,frontal...

The crabs respond whenever an intruder approaches to within a certain distance of the burrow...

... visual field, below the local visual horizon, and against the mudflat surface as background. We filmed events in a colony of Uca vomeris with a normal video camera and an ultraviolet-sensitive camera placed at the eye height of an average crab, approximately 2–3cm above ground. We also used...
