Expanded color vision in butterflies: molecular logic behind three way stochastic choices

Butterflies rely on color vision extensively to adapt to the natural world. Most species express a broad range of color sensitive Rhodopsins in three stochastically distributed types of ommatidia (unit eyes)(1–3). The retinas of Drosophila deploy just two main types, where fate is controlled by the...
