Trichromatic colour vision in New World monkeys.

Nature - 11 Jul 1996

Jacobs G H, Neitz M, Deegan J F, Neitz J

Abstract excerpt

Trichromatic colour vision depends on the presence of three types of cone photopigment. Trichromacy is the norm for all Old World monkeys, apes and humans, but in several genera of New World monkeys, colour vision is strikingly polymorphic. The difference in colour vision between these New and Old World primates results form differing arrangements of the pigment genes on the X chromosome. In Old World primates...
