Jewel Beetle Opsin Duplication and Divergence Is the Mechanism for Diverse Spectral Sensitivities

The evolutionary history of visual genes in Coleoptera differs from other well-studied insect orders, such as Lepidoptera and Diptera, as beetles have lost the widely conserved short-wavelength (SW) insect opsin gene that typically underpins sensitivity to blue light (∼440 nm). Duplications of the a...
