The spectral sensitivities of avian retinal photoreceptors are examined with respect to
microspectrophotometric measurements of single cells, spectrophotometric measurements …

Ultraviolet (UV) light occupies the spectral range of wavelengths slightly shorter than those
visible to humans. Because of its shorter wavelength, it is more energetic (and potentially …

Quantitative measurements of colour, pattern and morphology are vital to a growing range of
disciplines. Digital cameras are readily available and already widely used for making these …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

Effective camouflage renders a target indistinguishable from irrelevant background objects.
Two interrelated but logically distinct mechanisms for this are background pattern matching …

Many animals depend on the sense of vision for survival. In eumetazoans, vision requires
specialized, light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors. Light reaches the photoreceptors …

One of the most striking outcomes of coevolution between species is egg mimicry by brood
parasitic birds, resulting from rejection behavior by discriminating host parents. Yet, how …

Birds are highly visual animals with complex visual systems. In this article, we discuss the
spectral characteristics and genetic mechanisms of the spectral tuning of avian visual …
