Evolution and Mechanism of Spectral Tuning of Blue-Absorbing Visual Pigments in Butterflies
The eyes of flower-visiting butterflies are often spectrally highly complex with multiple opsin genes generated by gene duplication, providing an interesting system for a comparative study of color vision. The Small White butterfly, Pieris rapae, has duplicated blue opsins, PrB and PrV, which are ex...
