Its focal length is determined by the radius of curvature of the cornea. Many corneal eyes (eg: in land vertebrates) also have lenses, but the lens is flattened and weakened compared with an aquatic lens; most of the refractive power is provided by the cornea. Corneal eyes cannot focus in aquatic habitat.</li> <li><strong>Attribution:</strong> <a href='https://www.britannica.com/science/photoreception/Single-chambered-eyes#ref278820'>https://www.britannica.com/science/photoreception/Single-chambered-eyes#ref278820</a></li> </ul> <a href="/terms/search_results?tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bot%5D=529&tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp%5D=7922&tq%5Br%5D=record">show all records</a> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div> <div class='sample-trait-key a'>weight</div> <div uk-dropdown='mode: click'> <ul class='desc-meta'> <li><strong>URI:</strong> <a href="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0000128">http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0000128</a></li> <li><strong>Definition:</strong> A physical quality inhering in a bearer that has mass near a gravitational body.</li> <li><strong>Comment:</strong> Ontology Description: http://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/PATO Ontology Source: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/pato.owl</li> </ul> <a href="/terms/search_results?tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp%5D=2732&tq%5Br%5D=record">show all records</a> </div> </div> <div> <div class='sample-trait-val'>48.5 g</div> </div> </li> </ul> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/assets/leaflet-0c7c49ff6cef60703f21846c767458278dc2e5a07b6df4416a14a9ee18fd8764.css" /> <div class='map-contain-overview-section'> <div class='map-contain map-contain-overview'> <div class='map' data-icon-path='/assets/maps/pin24-d17b03d0a7bd19160afaf9201eac240d5c79b6181ea425ebf09355f73099e856.png' data-icon-retina-path='/assets/maps/pin48-dc733efea4bd3e7cb7d10c3faf5e670f9e5833f09ef9433045fc1a9dd67d9948.png' data-map-data-path='/data/map_data_dwca/45/45509745.json' id='map'></div> <div class='uk-text-meta map-caption'>Known occurrences, collected specimens and observations of Red-naped Sapsucker.
