The possible relationship between overlap of the visual fields and the importance of ipsilateral retinal projections was investigated in the two Chelonian genera Chinemys and Trionyx. Of these two species, Trionyx has more frontally located eyes, yet ipsilateral retinal projections could not be demo...
