    Seeing the rainbow: mechanisms underlying spectral sensitivity in teleost fishes
    Karen L. Carleton, Daniel Escobar-Camacho, Sara M. Stieb, Fabio Cortesi, N. Justin Marshall
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb193334 doi: 10.1242/jeb.193334 Published 23 April 2020

    Summary: The rich natural history of teleosts combined with variable aquatic habitats has produced numerous spectral tuning mechanisms. Although many of these may adaptively tune visual sensitivities, their effects on fitness remain somewhat elusive.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A second visual rhodopsin gene, rh1-2, is expressed in zebrafish photoreceptors and found in other ray-finned fishes
    James M. Morrow, Savo Lazic, Monica Dixon Fox, Claire Kuo, Ryan K. Schott, Eduardo de A. Gutierrez, Francesco Santini, Vincent Tropepe, Belinda S. W. Chang
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 294-303; doi: 10.1242/jeb.145953

    Summary: An ancient duplication of the rhodopsin gene, rh1-2, is a functional visual pigment and is expressed in retinal photoreceptors.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Spectral sensitivity of cone photoreceptors and opsin expression in two colour-divergent lineages of the lizard Ctenophorus decresii
    Madeleine S. Yewers, Claire A. McLean, Adnan Moussalli, Devi Stuart-Fox, Andrew T. D. Bennett, Ben Knott
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1556-1563; doi: 10.1242/jeb.119404

    Summary: Microspectrophotometry and opsin expression reveals four single cone classes without intraspecific differentiation, providing the first evidence of UV sensitivity in agamid lizards.
