Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures [PDF]
, 2021 We propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet.

Multi-Functional OCT Enables Longitudinal Study of Retinal Changes in a VLDLR Knockout Mouse Model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We present a multi-functional optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging approach to study retinal changes in the very-low-density-lipoprotein-receptor (VLDLR) knockout mouse model with a threefold contrast.

Developmental dynamics of cone photoreceptors in the eel [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Many fish alter their expressed visual pigments during development. The number of retinal opsins expressed and their type is normally related to the environment in which they live.

The effects of dietary carotenoid supplementation and retinal carotenoid accumulation on vision-mediated foraging in the house finch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: For many bird species, vision is the primary sensory modality used to locate and assess food items. The health and spectral sensitivities of the avian visual system are influenced by diet-derived carotenoid pigments that accumulate in the ...

Visual adaptation of opsin genes to the aquatic environment in sea snakes
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Evolutionary transitions from terrestrial to aquatic life history cause drastic changes in sensory systems. Indeed, the drastic changes in vision have been reported in many aquatic amniotes, convergently.

Accelerated evolution of dim-light vision-related arrestin in deep-diving amniotes
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Arrestins are key molecules involved in the signaling of light-sensation initiated by visual pigments in retinal photoreceptor cells. Vertebrate photoreceptor cells have two types of arrestins, rod arrestin, which is encoded by SAG and is expressed in ...
