retina

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The visual spectral sensitivity of the Chilean recluse spider Loxosceles laeta
    Felipe Tapia, Jesús Olivares, Oliver Schmachtenberg
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb217133 doi: 10.1242/jeb.217133 Published 22 January 2020

    Summary: Loxosceles laeta has monochromatic vision with a spectral range between the ultraviolet and green and no eye type- or sex-specific spectral specializations, evidenced using electroretinogram and behavioral assays.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Visual system development of the spotted unicornfish, Naso brevirostris (Acanthuridae)
    Valerio Tettamanti, Fanny de Busserolles, David Lecchini, N. Justin Marshall, Fabio Cortesi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb209916 doi: 10.1242/jeb.209916 Published 20 December 2019

    Summary: Retinal topography and opsin gene expression change during ontogeny of the spotted unicornfish, Naso brevirostris, with the largest changes occurring from the larval to the juvenile stage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Identification of novel circadian transcripts in the zebrafish retina
    Soundhar Ramasamy, Surbhi Sharma, Bharat Ravi Iyengar, Shamsudheen Karuthedath Vellarikkal, Sridhar Sivasubbu, Souvik Maiti, Beena Pillai
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb192195 doi: 10.1242/jeb.192195 Published 10 January 2019

    Summary: Characterization of the day and night transcriptome of the adult zebrafish retina reveals novel circadian transcripts.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Environmental, population and life-stage plasticity in the visual system of Atlantic cod
    Ragnhild Valen, Rita Karlsen, Jon Vidar Helvik
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb165191 doi: 10.1242/jeb.165191 Published 11 January 2018

    Highlighted Article: Clarification of the potential of visual tuning in Atlantic cod through differential opsin usage during changes in environmental light, with reference to the influence of developmental pre-programming and population ecotypes.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Photoreceptor signalling is sufficient to explain the detectability threshold of insect aerial pursuers
    Elisa Rigosi, Steven D. Wiederman, David C. O'Carroll
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4364-4369; doi: 10.1242/jeb.166207

    Summary: Across four insect species, the smallest target size a photoreceptor can robustly encode is sufficient to explain the detection limit of higher-order, target-detecting neurons or observed behavioural pursuits.

  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    Giving invertebrates an eye exam: an ophthalmoscope that utilizes the autofluorescence of photoreceptors
    Annette Stowasser, Madeline Owens, Elke K. Buschbeck
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4095-4100; doi: 10.1242/jeb.166629

    Summary: We describe a micro-ophthalmoscope that takes advantage of autofluorescent properties of invertebrate photoreceptors and allows for in vivo testing of refractive errors in small arthropod eyes.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Expression and light-dependent translocation of β-arrestin in the visual system of the terrestrial slug Limax valentianus
    Ryota Matsuo, Yuka Takatori, Shun Hamada, Mitsumasa Koyanagi, Yuko Matsuo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3301-3314; doi: 10.1242/jeb.162701

    Summary: Immunostaining of β-arrestin reveals its light-dependent translocation in the photoreceptors of a terrestrial slug, and also shows the utility of β-arrestin as a molecular marker of optic nerves.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Retinal specialization through spatially varying cell densities and opsin coexpression in cichlid fish
    Brian E. Dalton, Fanny de Busserolles, N. Justin Marshall, Karen L. Carleton
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 266-277; doi: 10.1242/jeb.149211

    Summary: Cichlid retinas show spatial variation with an area centralis that has higher photoreceptor and ganglion cell density and less opsin coexpression. Visual modeling suggests this may reflect a trade-off between colour discrimination and contrast detection.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effect of light intensity on flight control and temporal properties of photoreceptors in bumblebees
    Therese Reber, Antti Vähäkainu, Emily Baird, Matti Weckström, Eric Warrant, Marie Dacke
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1339-1346; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113886

    Summary: Bumblebees have both behavioural (reduction in flight speed) and retinal (reduction in response speed of the photoreceptors) adaptations to allow them to fly in dim light.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Pronounced heritable variation and limited phenotypic plasticity in visual pigments and opsin expression of threespine stickleback photoreceptors
    Iñigo Novales Flamarique, Christiana L. Cheng, Carolyn Bergstrom, Thomas E. Reimchen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 656-667; doi: 10.1242/jeb.078840
