Allometry indicates giant eyes of giant squid are not exceptional
BACKGROUND: The eyes of giant and colossal squid are among the largest eyes in the history of life. It was recently proposed that sperm whale predation is the main driver of eye size evolution in giant squid, on the basis of an optical model that suggested optimal performance in detecting large lumi...
