Issue Date: | 2023 | Journal: | Animal | Abstract: | Imaging diagnosis plays a fundamental role in avian medicine. However, there are few publications regarding its use in ophthalmology. Seabirds, in particular, present a peculiar ecology since their lives take place in very diverse environments: the aquatic, the terrestrial, and the aerial. This fact implies a series of adaptations at a visual level that are necessary for adequate interaction with the environment. Therefore, knowledge of eye particularities is of great importance for the scientific community since it allows us to deepen our understanding of the ocular anatomy and biology of these animals, which are increasingly present in veterinary and wildlife centers. In our study, we performed a morphometric analysis of the ocular bulb and its internal structures in the puffin (Fratercula arctica) using advanced imaging techniques such as CT. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/124210 | ISSN: | 2076-2615 | DOI: | 10.3390/ani13152418 | Source: | Animals[EISSN 2076-2615],v. 13 (15), (Agosto 2023) |
