Evolution of color vision.

چکیده
Color vision is achieved by comparing the inputs from retinal photoreceptor neurons that differ in their wavelength sensitivity. Recent studies have elucidated the distribution and phylogeny of opsins, the family of light-sensitive molecules involved in this process. Interesting new findings suggest that animals have evolved a strategy to achieve specific sensitivity through the mutually exclusive expression of different opsin genes in photoreceptors.

متن کاملProgress Toward Understanding the Evolution of Primate Color Vision
Color vision requires the presence in the retina of multiple types of cone photopigment and appropriate nervous-system connections. In recent years, the structures of genes specifying photopigment opsins have come under increasing scrutiny. In many animal groups (e.g., fish, reptiles, and birds), representatives of four separate cone opsin gene families can be identified. In mammals, however, o...
