Cone pigment polymorphism in New World monkeys: are all pigments created equal?

Visual neuroscience - 1 Jan 2000

Rowe Mickey P, Jacobs Gerald H

Abstract excerpt

Most platyrrhine monkeys have a triallelic M/L opsin gene polymorphism that underlies significant individual variations in color vision. A survey of the frequencies of these polymorphic genes suggests that the three alleles occur with equal frequency among squirrel monkeys (subfamily Cebinae), but are not equally frequent in a number of species from the subfamily Callitrichinae. This departure from equal...
