Eye accommodation during prey capture behaviour in salamanders (Salamandra salamandra L.).

C Werner, W Himstedt.   

Abstract

The eyes of fire salamanders were examined refractometrically before, during and after prey capture behaviour. It was ascertained that the refraction makes a myopic shift before the salamander turns to the prey. This means that fire salamanders use accommodation for distance estimation.
