Evolutionary analysis of vision genes identifies potential drivers of visual differences between giraffe and okapi
BACKGROUND: The capacity of visually oriented species to perceive and respond to visual signal is integral to their evolutionary success. Giraffes are closely related to okapi, but the two species have broad range of phenotypic differences including their visual capacities. Vision studies rank giraf...
