DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-15868-7
Abstract: We studied the evolution of opsin genes in 59 ray-finned fish genomes. We identified the opsin genes and adjacent genes (syntenies) in each genome. Then we inferred the changes in gene copy number (N), syntenies,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15838
Abstract: Natural variation in the number, expression and function of sensory genes in an organism's genome is often tightly linked to different ecological and evolutionary forces. Opsin genes, which code for the first step in visual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0215376
Abstract: Vision is very important to fish as it is required for foraging food, fighting competitors, fleeing from predators, and finding potential mates. Vertebrates express opsin genes in photoreceptor cells to receive visual signals, and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-1208058/v1
Abstract: The light sensitive capacity of fish larvae is determined by the structure of the retina and the opsins expressed in the retinal and non-retinal photoreceptors. In this study, the retinal structure and expression of opsin… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects11020116
Abstract: Dendrolimus punctatus walker (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) is the most serious coniferous forest defoliator in China. This species has long life history, and shows different activity rhythms and light response behaviors at larval and adult stages. Insect… read more here.
