Synaptic interactions to extract information about wavelength, and thus color, begin in the
vertebrate retina with three classes of light-sensitive cells: rod photoreceptors at low light …

Comparative Color Vision provides information about the means by which color vision has
been studied in nonhuman animals and about the outcomes of these studies for a variety of …

In Drosophila, color vision and wavelength‐selective behaviors are mediated by the
compound eye's narrow‐spectrum photoreceptors R7 and R8 and their downstream …

This article suggests how we might understand the way potential predators see coloration
patterns used in aposematism and visual mimicry. We start by briefly reviewing work on …

Connectomics has become a standard neuroscience methodology in a few model animals,
1 with the visual system being a popular target of study. 2–5 Combining connectomics with …

Color has become a premier model system for understanding how information is processed
by neural circuits, and for investigating the relationships among genes, neural circuits, and …

Animal color pattern phenotypes evolve rapidly. What influences their evolution? Because
color patterns are used in communication, selection for signal efficacy, relative to the …

The ability to see colour at night is known only from a handful of animals. First discovered in
the elephant hawk moth Deilephila elpenor, nocturnal colour vision is now known from two …

Colour vision enables animals to detect and discriminate differences in chromatic cues
independent of brightness. How the bee visual system manages this task is of interest for …

Within the last 400 million years, insects have radiated into at least a million species,
accounting for more than half of all known living organisms: they are the most successful …
