Insights into visual pigment adaptation and diversity from model ecological and evolutionary systems.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2017

Hauser Frances E, Chang Belinda Sw

Abstract excerpt

Sensory systems provide valuable insight into the evolution of molecular mechanisms underlying organismal anatomy, physiology, and behaviour. Visual pigments, which mediate the first step in visual transduction, offer a unique window into the relationship between molecular variation and visual performance, and enhance our understanding of how ecology, life history, and physiology may shape genetic variation...
