• The soft tissues involved in blinking have not been preserved in the fossil record, but study of mudskippers (a group of amphibious fish species that evolved blinking independently from other tetrapod species, but for similar purposes), suggest that blinking (which involves the eye retracting in mudskippers) may have arose in response to selective pressures upon species shifting from aquatic to terrestrial habitats. (wikipedia.org)

  • Blinking in mudskippers appears to have evolved through a rearrangement of existing muscles that changed their line of action and also by the evolution of a novel tissue, the dermal cup," said Aiello. (eurekalert.org)
  • To uncover why mudskippers blink on land, the team considered the roles that blinking plays in humans and other tetrapods. (eurekalert.org)
  • In humans, tears are critical to keep cells in the eye healthy and oxygenated, so the researchers analyzed whether mudskippers also blink to keep their eyes wet. (eurekalert.org)
  • We found that, just like humans, mudskippers blink more frequently when confronted with dry eyes," said Aiello. (eurekalert.org)

  • Though one may think that the stimulus triggering blinking is dry or irritated eyes, it is most likely that it is controlled by a "blinking center" of the globus pallidus of the lenticular nucleus-a body of nerve cells between the base and outer surface of the brain. (wikipedia.org)
  • Additionally, when at their fully aquatic juvenile stage of development, their eyes are not in the positioning with which they blink, but as adults, their eyes elevate to a position that can blink, which they do when they are not submerged or bump into a surface, suggesting blinking emerged as an adaptation to terrestrial life as opposed to aquatic life.
