Growing eyes on growing shells reveal how chitons scale vision | Biology Letters
Distributed visual systems are composed of repeated photoreceptive units that are
often assumed to be functionally and structurally identical. In chitons, shell eyes
form a complex array embedded in t...

This pattern occurs across independent evolutionary origins of shell eyes (though its consistency varied), and challenges the assumption that these vast visual systems are made up of identical units. There's no evidence that the change in size has any functional impact, but it's a new possibility!
