This study identifies contrast sensitivity as a key perceptual constraint affecting collision risk for Bearded Vultures with human-made aerial structures.

This study investigates how the single visual opsin in deep-sea octopods evolves across different light environments, finding specific amino acid substitutions that alter spectral sensitivity and structural properties to adapt to pressure and light conditions.

The paper investigates the abundance and diversity of dinoflagellate proton-pump rhodopsin (DiPPR) genes in Long Island Sound, finding year-round presence, higher abundance in eutrophic areas, and associations with phosphorus levels.

The paper expresses dinoflagellate rhodopsin genes in mammalian cells and shows they localize to the cell membrane, suggesting compatibility with mammalian systems and consistent with proton pump function.
