An (omics) perspective on the evolution of vision in deep‐sea fishes reveals exceptional adaptations to life in the extreme

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the evolution of vision, changes in the number of visual opsin genes, gene conversion, amino acid sequence mutations, and gene expression levels are common molecular mechanisms in how teleost fishes adapt to different aquatic (light) environments.

Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,

At the edge of darkness: A framework for the evolution of visual systems in dim light

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Light is an important biological cue for all living things. For animals, where many behaviours are driven by sensory input from the eyes, light is also a critical environmental feature shaping animal eye evolution, with the intensity of light (i.e.

Tropical fishes can benefit more from novel than familiar species interactions at their cold‐range edges

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We reveal that shoaling with temperate fish enhances foraging efficiency in range‐extending tropical fish species, suggesting novel species interactions can aid poleward expansions in marine ecosystems. Our work highlights behavioural plasticity as a mechanism that can facilitate tropical fishes to adapt to novel temperate ecosystems under climate ...
