Lund University invites applications for a doctoral project on the evolution of colour vision in marine invertebrates. The PhD researcher will investigate whether the firefly squid, a cephalopod, and the alciopid worm, an annelid, have independently evolved colour vision despite living in deep-water, night-time environments. The project will examine how colour vision influences behaviour and whether these species use visual processing circuits and principles comparable to those found in arthropo...
