Looking with gills: the evolution and function of distributed visual systems in fan worms with a view to future resilient sensor arrays
Marine fan worms are among Earth’s oddest known creatures: they live on the sea floor in tubes of hardened mucus and have protruding fans of tentacles (radioles). Among other functions, the radioles are used for vision. Some species of marine fan worm have just two eyes on the end of each tentacle, while others have hundreds on each tentacle. As these may be unique evolutionary developments, marine fan worms are valuable in explorations of the origin of visual sensory systems. Michael Bok will study radiolar eyes using computational, molecular and neurobiological approaches, including using new sequencing techniques to identify the genes involved with detecting light. He will use his findings to create a simple model for distributed optical sensory arrays, which will contribute to biomimetic robotics.
