Private communication may benefit signalers by reducing the costs imposed by potential
eavesdroppers such as parasites, predators, prey, or rivals. It is likely that private …

Visual-pigment absorbance spectra and eye spectral sensitivities were examined in eight
populations of opossum shrimp from different light environments. Four Finnish populations …

Absorbance spectra of rods and some cones were measured by microspectrophotometry in
22 fish species from the brackish-water of the Baltic Sea, and when applicable, in the same …

Аннотация Rhodopsins, the primary molecules of vision in all seeing animals, can be
activated not only by photon energy (light) but also by thermal energy (heat). Spectral …

The content of carotenoids and retinoids was compared in the eyes of two Finnish
populations of the opossum shrimp, Mysis relicta, which have been reproductively isolated …

Absorbance spectra of single rhabdoms were studied by microspectrophotometry (MSP) and
spectral sensitivities of whole eyes by electroretinography (ERG) in three glacial-relict …

Glacial-relict species of the genus Mysis (opossum shrimps) inhabiting both fresh-water
lakes and brackish sea waters in northern Europe show a consistent lake/sea dichotomy in …

The hypothesis that selection on the opsin gene is efficient in tuning vision to the ambient
light environment of an organism was assessed in 49 populations of 12 Mysis crustacean …

We have studied dark-adaptation at three levels in the eyes of the crustacean Mysis relicta
over 2–3 weeks after exposing initially dark-adapted animals to strong white light …

Sensory systems are considered to be optimized for their ecological niche. In vision this
means highly organised regular structure and function, where nearly identical …
