The mechanistic, genetic and evolutionary causes of bird eye colour variation
Birds display a rainbow of eye colours, but this trait has been little studied compared with
plumage coloration. Avian eye colour variation occurs at all phylogenetic scales: it can be …

Ocular pigmentation in humans, great apes, and gibbons is not suggestive of communicative functions
Pigmentation patterns of the visible part of the eyeball, encompassing the iris and portions of
the sclera, have been discussed to be linked to social cognition in primates. The cooperative …

Ecological factors are likely drivers of eye shape and colour pattern variations across anthropoid primates
External eye appearance across primate species is diverse in shape and colouration, yet we
still lack an explanation for the drivers of such diversity. Here we quantify substantial …

[HTML][HTML] Light-adaptable artificial iris with dynamically scalable pupil-aperture function by radially patterned photochromic transition control
The iris is an ocular organ that actively controls the size of the pupil-aperture in response to
external light, thereby regulating the amount of light reaching the retina for better visual …

Sex differences in ocular morphology in Caucasian people: a dubious role of sexual selection in the evolution of sexual dimorphism of the human eye
The horizontal size of the exposed depigmented sclera in Caucasians has been previously
suggested to be sexually dimorphic, and the significance of this phenomenon remains …
