Tons more where that came from in the paper. Dig in for imaging, cone ablations, cool behaviour (including outdoors!) and a bunch of musings. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Vertebrate vision is ancestrally based on competing cone circuits

Vision first evolved in the water, where light becomes increasingly monochromatic with viewing distance. The presence of spectrally broad (‘white’) light is therefore the exclusive remit of the...

How might they have evolved? We posit that they could be the result of a 'failed split' in the precursors that normally lead to red cones. Red singles normally develop in twos that separate, so duplicating the pre-split state could reasonably give a red-red double cone.
