  科学美国人60秒英文文本

  Box jellyfish have it over the rest of the jellyfishworld—they have true eyes, featuring corneas, lensesand retinas. They have a more sophisticatednervous system too. They still don’t have a realbrain, but those eyes enable them to actively huntprey. Other jellyfish just drift and hope. Well, notreally hope, because you can’t do that without abrain.

  Anyway, it’s been long known that box jellies hadeyes, 24 in fact, of four different types. But nowresearchers have found that four of those eyes justlook up, and out of the water. The work appears in the journal Current Biology. [Anders Garm, Magnus Oskarsson and Dan-Eric Nilsson, Box Jellyfish Use Terrestrial Visual Cues for Navigation]

  Their various eyes show that the jellies evolved a clever strategy. Rather than a single set ofpeepers that collect info for processing by a big brain, box jellies have different eye typesresponsible for informing different behaviors, with no brains. More evidence that it can be amistake to overthink a problem.
