A Deep Phylogenetic Split Between Short- and Long-Wavelength-Tuned Visual Systems in Surgeonfishes (Acanthuridae)

This study investigates visual plasticity in surgeonfishes by analyzing opsin gene expression across 22 species, revealing a deep phylogenetic split in visual systems that predates ecological diversification.

Seeing Nemo: molecular evolution of ultraviolet visual opsins and spectral tuning of photoreceptors in anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae)

The paper investigates the molecular evolution of UV-sensitive opsins in anemonefishes, identifying gene duplications and expression patterns that contribute to UV vision.

The visual ecology of Holocentridae, a nocturnal coral reef fish family with a deep-sea-like multibank retina

This study investigates the visual systems of Holocentridae fish, revealing a rod-dominated retina with multibank structures and potential for dim-light color vision.
