Male Dragonfishes Evolve Larger Eyes for Mate Attraction in Dark Depths

A groundbreaking study from Boston College reveals that male dragonfishes have evolved larger eyes than females to enhance mate detection in the dark depths of the ocean. This unique adaptation, highlighted in the journal Biology Letters, sheds light on sexual dimorphism and survival strategies in deep-sea ecosystems. Discover how these fierce predators navigate their challenging environment and the implications for evolutionary biology.
