Visual Sensory Disability: Rehabilitative Treatment in an Aquatic Environment

Disturbed flow in an aquatic environment may create a sensory refuge for aggregated prey

Predators use olfactory cues moved within water and air to locate prey. Because prey aggregations may produce more cue and be easier to detect, predation could limit aggregation size. However, disturbance in the flow may diminish the reliability of odour as a prey cue, impeding predator foraging success and efficiency. We explore how different cue concentrations (as a proxy for prey group size)...

Disability among Attendees with Schizophrenia in a Nigerian Hospital: Further Evidence for Integrated Rehabilitative Treatment Designs

Evidence-based rehabilitative treatment is constrained due to limited knowledge about disability and its related factors among individuals with schizophrenia across West Africa. This study aims to investigate the pattern of disability, and the associated factors among individuals with schizophrenia. One hundred consecutively recruited consenting participants were subjected to designed questionn...

Adaptation of Visual Pigments to the Aquatic Environment

A central theme of John Lythgoe’s book “The Ecology of Vision” (Lythgoe, 1979) was that of adaptation: the matching between an organism’s phenotype and its natural environment. In “The Ecology of Vision”, numerous adaptations of animal visual systems were identified, covering diverse aspects of life related to vision including ocular anatomy, visual physiology, biochemistry, behaviour, diet and...
