Z Musilova, W Salzburger… - Annual review of cell and …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Visual opsin genes expressed in the rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina are core

Vision using multiple distinct rod opsins in deep-sea fishes
Vertebrate vision is accomplished through light-sensitive photopigments consisting of an
opsin protein bound to a chromophore. In dim light, vertebrates generally rely on a single …

The rises and falls of opsin genes in 59 ray-finned fish genomes and their implications for environmental adaptation
We studied the evolution of opsin genes in 59 ray-finned fish genomes. We identified the
opsin genes and adjacent genes (syntenies) in each genome. Then we inferred the changes …

Pushing the limits of photoreception in twilight conditions: the rod-like cone retina of the deep-sea pearlsides
Most vertebrates have a duplex retina comprising two photoreceptor types, rods for dim-light
(scotopic) vision and cones for bright-light (photopic) and color vision. However, deep-sea …

Diversity of mesopelagic fishes in the Southern Ocean-a phylogeographic perspective using DNA barcoding
Small mesopelagic fish are ubiquitous in the ocean, representing an important trophic link
between zooplankton and tertiary consumers such as larger fish, marine mammals and …

Zebrafish circadian clock entrainment and the importance of broad spectral light sensitivity
IAF Steindal, D Whitmore - Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 - frontiersin.org
One of the key defining features of an endogenous circadian clock is that it can be entrained
or set to local time. Though a number of cues can perform this role, light is the predominant …

Short-term colour vision plasticity on the reef: changes in opsin expression under varying light conditions differ between ecologically distinct fish species
Vision mediates important behavioural tasks such as mate choice, escape from predators
and foraging. In fish, photoreceptors are generally tuned to specific visual tasks and/or to …
