Compound ocellus of a starfish: its function.

M Yoshida, H Ohtsuki.   

Abstract

The relative effect of light in inducing downward movements of the tips of isolated arms of Asterias amurensis is maximal at 485 millimicrons when the compound ocellus is intact; at 504 millimicrons when the ocellus has been removed. This finding suggests the coexistence of two photoreceptive systems, ocellar and nonocellar.
