No single solution: application of behavioural principles in mitigating human–wildlife conflict (2016, background): “For example, variations in visual acuity have been shown to be related to body mass: larger species tend to have higher visual acuity (Kilte, 2000).”
Avian visual system configuration and behavioural response to object approach (2009, unknown): “The higher visual acuity of the mourning dove suggests that this species would have a greater ability to resolve objects in its visual field, and thus, may be able to detect objects from further away than do brown-headed cowbirds (e.g. increase the depth of the detection windows; Kiltie 2000).”
Grade Changes in Brain–Body Allometry: Morphological and Behavioural Correlates of Brain Size in Miniature Spiders, Insects and Other Invertebrates (2011, background): “…increased resolution, as well as more subtle or detailed processing of visual information, is clearly related to the numbers of sensory cells in the eye, and the amount of nervous tissue in the portions of the brain that process stimuli from the eye (e.g. Kiltie, 2000; Land and Nilsson, 2002).”

Using body size to predict perceptual range (2002, background): “Furthermore, visual acuity has been shown to scale with body size for both birds and mammals (Kiltie 2000).”
