Abstract
In all aspects of their biology, crustaceans exhibit a remarkable degree of variation. A cursory examination of a barnacle, a giant spider crab and a copepod, for instance, might fail to place these organisms together in the same subphylum. This diversity of form reflects the ecological demands of different lifestyles and habitats and extends to include a great variety of eye designs (Land 1981a, and see Chapter 2). As stated neatly by Land in his review of (1984) ‘Although one usually thinks of the Crustacea as linked to the insects by the presence of an exoskeleton and compound eyes, there is actually a much greater diversity of eye types in the Crustacea than in the insects or any other invertebrate group’ (Figure 1).
