John Lythgoe was one of the pioneers of the 'Ecology of Vision', a
subject that he ably delineated in his classic and inspirational
book published some 20 years ago [1]. At heart, the original book
aimed generally to identify inter-relationships between vision,
animal behaviour and the environment. John Lythgoe excelled at
identifying the interesting 'questions' in the ecology of an animal
that fitted the 'answers' presented by an analysis of the visual
system. Over the last twenty years, however, since Lythgoe's
landmark publication, much progress has been made and the field has
broadened considerably. In particular, our understanding of the
'adaptive mechanisms' underlying the ecology of vision has reached
considerable depths, extending to the molecular dimension, partly
as a result of development and application of new techniques. This
complements the advances made in parallel in clinically oriented
vision research [2]. The current book endeavours to review the
progress made in the ecology of vision field by bringing together
many of the major researchers presently active in the expanded
subject area. The contents deal with theoretical and physical
considerations of light and photoreception, present examples of
visual system structure and function, and delve into aspects of
visual behaviour and communi cation. Throughout the book, we have
tried to emphasise one of the major themes to emerge within the
ecology of vision: the high degree of adaptability that visual
mechanisms are capable of undergoing in response to diverse, and
dynamic, environments and behaviours.
