Ultraviolet vision and mate choice in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Elizabeth Smith,Julian C. Partridge,KN Parsons,Elizabeth M. White,Innes C. Cuthill,Andrew T. D. Bennett,Stuart C. Church +6 more
TL;DR: These are the first data showing that UV is used by any fish species in mate selection in both female and male guppies, and indicate that UV wavelengths are probably being used for color discrimination rather than for detecting differences in brightness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vision in lanternfish (Myctophidae): adaptations for viewing bioluminescence in the deep sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the distribution of lambda(max) values in one family of marine teleosts, the lanternfish (Myctophidae), and show that the visual pigments of myctophids instead seem better placed for the visualisation of bioluminescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet dermal reflexion and mate choice in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata
TL;DR: Male guppies with high and low UV reflexion, but similar human-visible coloration and area of coloration, were paired for use in mate choice experiments and showed no preference for either high or low UV Reflexion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral irradiance and foraging efficiency in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata
TL;DR: How spectral irradiance influences the behaviour of guppies foraging for live zooplankton prey is examined and it is suggested that long-wavelength information is particularly important in this foraging task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vision and visual variation in the peacock blenny
TL;DR: In this article, the presence of a rod and at least two cone classes (mid-and long-wavelength sensitive) in the intertidal peacock blenny Salaria pavo was revealed.
