| Abstract |
Pinnipeds are amphibious mammals. The amphibious lifestyle is challenging for all sensory systems including vision, and specific adaptations of the eyes have evolved in response to the changed requirements concerning vision in two optically very different media, water and air. The present review summarizes the information available on pinniped eyes with an emphasis on harbour seal vision for which most information is available to date. Recent studies in this species have improved the understanding of amphibious vision by reanalysing refraction, by studying corneal topography, and by measuring visual acuity as a function of ambient luminance. The harbour seal eye can be characterized as an eye that balances high resolution, supported by data on ganglion cell density and topography, and sensitivity. Furthermore, it was shown that seals have multifocal lenses, broad visual Welds, and distinct eye movement abilities. The mechanisms described here form the basis for future research on visually guided behaviour. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 July 2022.
All research outputs
#7,449,539
of 22,774,233 outputs
Outputs from Experimental Brain Research
#899
of 3,223 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,567
of 93,067 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Experimental Brain Research
#13
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,774,233 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,223 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 93,067 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
