Ultraviolet vision in birds: the importance of transparent eye media
Ultraviolet (UV)-sensitive visual pigments are widespread in the animal kingdom but many
animals, for example primates, block UV light from reaching their retina by pigmented …

Topographic specializations in the retinal ganglion cell layer correlate with lateralized visual behavior, ecology, and evolution in cockatoos
Cockatoos are a unique avian group inhabiting a diversity of arboreal and terrestrial
microhabitats. Most species display strong lateralized visual behaviors using their left …

[HTML][HTML] Mosaic and concerted evolution in the visual system of birds
Two main models have been proposed to explain how the relative size of neural structures
varies through evolution. In the mosaic evolution model, individual brain structures vary in …

Retinal ganglion cell topography and spatial resolution of two parrot species: budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Bourke's parrot (Neopsephotus bourkii)
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) isodensity maps indicate important regions in an animal's visual
field. These maps can also be combined with measures of focal length to estimate the …

Comparative study of photoreceptor and retinal ganglion cell topography and spatial resolving power in Dipsadidae snakes
Abstract The diurnal Dipsadidae snakes Philodryas olfersii and P. patagoniensis are closely
related in their phylogeny but inhabit different ecological niches. P. olfersii is arboreal …
