Nocturnality constrains morphological and functional diversity in the eyes of reef fishes

BACKGROUND: Ambient light levels are often considered to drive the evolution of eye form and function. Diel activity pattern is the main mechanism controlling the visual environment of teleost reef fish, with day-active (diurnal) fish active in well-illuminated conditions, whereas night-active (noct...
