Based on their statistical analysis, Wiens and Emberts conclude color vision in animals came first, evolving more than 100 million years before plants began producing colorful fruits and flowers.

Biologists modified simple electronics to create a color vision test for fiddler crabs and other animals.

The novel tech should allow scientists and filmmakers to produce videos that accurately represent the colors seen by animals such as bees for the first time.

CVDs are described as any color vision that doesn’t align with standard trichromatic color vision and are the result of an individual’s cone cells functioning abnormally.

In this study, the researchers analyzed the expression patterns of light-sensitive proteins called opsins that are often present in animals' eyes. Contrary to assumptions, they found that most ...

To find food, dazzle mates, escape predators and navigate diverse terrain, birds rely on their excellent color vision. “Humans are color-blind compared to birds and many other animals,” said Mary ...

To use it, you start by selecting an animal from the provided list of species. Based on that selection, the software will then advise you on the camera settings needed for taking your photo (s ...

For animals, normal color vision is mostly determined by genes called visual opsins. Multiple losses of opsin genes have occurred as tetrapods—a group including amphibians, reptiles, and mammals ...

Many animals once thought to have poor sight in low light use tricks in their nervous systems to see brilliantly in the dark ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown visual system that may allow color vision in deep, dark waters–around 650 to 5,000 feet below sea level, where animals were presumed to be colorblind.
