Animal colour vision–behavioural tests and physiological concepts
Over a century ago workers such as J. Lubbock and K. von Frisch developed behavioural
criteria for establishing that non-human animals see colour. Many animals in most phyla …

Chromatic and achromatic vision: parameter choice and limitations for reliable model predictions
Many animals use vision to detect, discriminate, or recognize important objects such as prey,
predators, homes, or mates. These objects may differ in color and brightness—having …
