[HTML][HTML] A review of the evolution of animal colour vision and visual communication signals

D Osorio, M Vorobyev - Vision research, 2008 - Elsevier
The visual displays of animals and plants are often colourful, and colour vision allows
animals to respond to these signals as they forage for food, choose mates and so-forth. This …

The retinal basis of vertebrate color vision

T Baden, D Osorio - Annual review of vision science, 2019 - annualreviews.org
The jawless fish that were ancestral to all living vertebrates had four spectral cone types that
were probably served by chromatic-opponent retinal circuits. Subsequent evolution of …
