Ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptor-cell circuits form a spectral depth gauge in marine zooplankton

Csaba Verasztó, Martin Gühmann, Huiyong Jia, Vinoth Babu Veedin Rajan, Luis Alberto Bezares-Calderón, Cristina Piñeiro López, Nadine Randel, Réza Shahidi, Nico K. Michiels, Shozo Yokoyama, Kristin Tessmar‐Raible, Gáspár Jékely

The paper shows ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptors in Platynereis larvae functionally integrate to determine vertical swimming direction based on light ratios, acting as a depth gauge.
