Deep-sea fish reveal alternative pathway for vertebrate visual development

This study shows deep-sea fish larvae use a hybrid cone-rod photoreceptor type for vision in dim light, revealing an alternative developmental pathway for vertebrate vision.

The visual system of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark

This study shows the Greenland shark retains a functional visual system adapted to dim light, with intact rod-based vision genes and no retinal degeneration despite its age.

Evolutionary dynamics of the vertebrate Wnt gene repertoire

This study analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of Wnt genes across vertebrates, revealing lineage-specific expansions and variations in gene repertoire sizes and evolutionary rates.

Evolution of the non-visual and visual opsin gene repertoire in ray-finned fishes

This study examines the evolution of opsin genes in ray-finned fishes, showing variation in gene numbers, co-evolution of visual and non-visual opsins, and reduced opsin repertoires in dark environments.

Developing and adult reef fish show rapid, reversible light-induced plasticity in their visual system

This study shows that reef fish can rapidly and reversibly adjust their retinal opsin expression and cell densities in response to short-term changes in light conditions.

Development of dim-light vision in the nocturnal coral reef fish family, Holocentridae

The paper investigates visual system development in Holocentridae fish, showing ontogenetic shifts from photopic to scotopic vision with subfamily-specific adaptations.

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.
