Visual ecology of true lemurs suggests a cathemeral origin for the primate cone opsin polymorphism

2016-06-01

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to the majority of primates, which exhibit dedicated diurnality or nocturnality, all species of Eulemur are cathemeral. Colour vision, in particular, is strongly affected by the spectral composition and intensity of ambient light, and the impact of activity period on the evolution of primate colour vision is actively debated. We studied three groups of wild brown lemurs (Eulemur fulvus) in Ankarafantsi...
