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

Comparing entire colour patterns as birds see them
JA Endler, PW MIELKE JR - Biological Journal of the Linnean …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Colour patterns and their visual backgrounds consist of a mosaic of patches that vary in
colour, brightness, size, shape and position. Most studies of crypsis, aposematism, sexual …

Self-assembled, disordered structural color from fruit wax bloom
Many visually guided frugivores have eyes highly adapted for blue sensitivity, which makes
it perhaps surprising that blue pigmented fruits are not more common. However, some fruits …

Evolution of avian plumage color in a tetrahedral color space: a phylogenetic analysis of new world buntings
We use a tetrahedral color space to describe and analyze male plumage color variation and
evolution in a clade of New World buntings—Cyanocompsa and Passerina (Aves …

An integrative framework for the appraisal of coloration in nature
The world in color presents a dazzling dimension of phenotypic variation. Biological interest
in this variation has burgeoned, due to both increased means for quantifying spectral …

Artificial light pollution: are shifting spectral signatures changing the balance of species interactions?
Technological developments in municipal lighting are altering the spectral characteristics of
artificially lit habitats. Little is yet known of the biological consequences of such changes …

Avian visual pigments: characteristics, spectral tuning, and evolution
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 …
