The spectral transmission of ocular media suggests ultraviolet sensitivity is widespread among mammals

Although ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity is widespread among animals it is considered rare in mammals, being restricted to the few species that have a visual pigment maximally sensitive (λ(max)) below 400 nm. However, even animals without such a pigment will be UV-sensitive if they have ocular media th...
