Abstract excerpt
Rod absorbance spectra, characterized by the wavelength of peak absorbance (lambda(max)) were related to the rod opsin sequences of individual sand gobies (Pomatoschistus minutus) from four allopatric populations [Adriatic Sea (A), English Channel (E), Swedish West Coast (S) and Baltic Sea (B)]. Rod lambda(max) differed between populations in a manner correlated with differences in the spectral light transmission...
