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

We examined ingestion and retention rates of microplastics (MPs) by two freshwater
(Japanese medaka and zebrafish) and two marine fish species (Indian medaka and clown …

Anemonefishes are an iconic group of coral reef fish particularly known for their mutualistic
relationship with sea anemones. This mutualism is especially intriguing as it likely prompted …

In many animals, ultraviolet (UV) vision guides navigation, foraging, and communication, but
few studies have addressed the contribution of UV signals to colour vision, or measured UV …

Most marine organisms have a biphasic life cycle during which pelagic larvae transform into
radically different juveniles. In vertebrates, the role of thyroid hormones (THs) in triggering …

Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) are one of the most behaviourally diverse, colourful and
species‐rich reef fish families. One remarkable characteristic of damselfishes is their …

Plastic pollution is considered a pervasive global environmental challenge. Colored
microplastics are prevalent in aquatic environments and the gastrointestinal tracts of wild …

Genomic manipulation is a useful approach for elucidating the molecular pathways
underlying aspects of development, physiology, and behaviour. However, a lack of gene …

Ultraviolet (UV) vision is widespread among teleost fishes, of which many exhibit UV skin
colors for communication. However, aside from its role in mate selection, few studies have …

Photosensitive opsins detect light and perform image-or nonimage-forming tasks. Opsins
such as the “classical” visual opsins and melanopsin are well studied. However, the retinal …
