Visual ecology of aphids—a critical review on the role of colours in host finding
We review the rich literature on behavioural responses of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to
stimuli of different colours. Only in one species there are adequate physiological data on …

Overcoming the loss of blue sensitivity through opsin duplication in the largest animal group, beetles
Opsin proteins are fundamental components of animal vision whose structure largely
determines the sensitivity of visual pigments to different wavelengths of light. Surprisingly …

A cure for the blues: opsin duplication and subfunctionalization for short-wavelength sensitivity in jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)
Background Arthropods have received much attention as a model for studying opsin
evolution in invertebrates. Yet, relatively few studies have investigated the diversity of opsin …
