  • Detailed view of the unique structure of the compound eyes of a harlequin mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus)., photographed at 3x life-size magnification. The eyes of mantis shrimps comprise what may perhaps be the most complex visual system that has ever evolved. Each eye sits atop a mobile stalk, with each stalk capable of moving independently. Each eye comprises two flattened hemispheres separated by parallel rows of specialized clusters of photoreceptor cells called ommatidia. These rows collectively make up the midband. This 3-part division facilitates trinocular vision in each eye, which means each eye is capable of depth perception. Depending upon the species, mantis shrimps have between 12 and 16 types of photoreceptors (compared to three for humans), giving these crustaceans the ability to perceive a wide spectrum covering from far red to ultraviolet, as well as polarized light.

  • The Patch Reefs in Palau are a series of small shallow-water reefs south of Long Lake. These reefs suffered a severe crown of thorns starfish infestation after the 1998 el Nino. Ron Leidich and friends removed thousands of crown of thorns, and the reefs have recovered quickly. The Patch Reefs are a transition zone from the inner lakes and mangroves of the Rock Islands to open ocean. Here, there are lots of branching corals and also schools of fast-swimming fish like this Dascyllus reticulatus darting in and out of coral to gather food in the current.
