We’ve got our eyes on you 👀

Using 3D imaging and computational modeling, researchers from The University of Western Australia, the UWA Oceans Institute, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, and MBARI compared the structure and function of the eyes of hyperiid amphipods, shrimp-like crustaceans that dwell in the dim waters of the ocean’s twilight zone. 

Hyperia has evolved eyes that keep watch on a wide field of view but can only visualize objects nearby. Phronima—commonly known as the barrel amphipod—can see well into the distance, but at the cost of a very narrow field of view. Phronima has solved this problem by evolving a second pair of eyes for wide, but poor, peripheral vision.

I think these two are kinda dumb (they’re literally probably one of the only two smart ones in the whole Nemesis) While I hadn’t intended to get as into Transformers as I am now, I concede the fact that I just am and wanted to post my doodles. One will eventually be able to tell Soundwave is my goat 😌 I used to like Transformers when I was younger and he was my favorite then, and turns out he’s still my favorite which is nice

thought I was muted and just had this exchange with a coworker on a zoom call
