Journal ArticleDOI
“Tho' she kneel'd in that place where they grew…” The uses and origins of primate colour vision
TL;DR: It is argued that the colour vision of man and of the Old World monkeys depends on two subsystems that remain parallel and independent at early stages of the visual pathway, and that the New World monkeys have taken a different route to trichromacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fruits, foliage and the evolution of primate colour vision
B. C. Regan,Catherine Julliot,Bruno Simmen,Françoise Viénot,P Charles-Dominique,John D. Mollon +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that particular trichromatic platyrrhine phenotypes may be better suited than others to foraging for particular fruits under particular conditions of illumination, and possible explanations for the maintenance of polymorphic colour vision amongst the platyr rhines are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human visual pigments: microspectrophotometric results from the eyes of seven persons.
TL;DR: Both patients were classified as normal trichromats by all clinical tests of colour vision but there was a clear difference in their relative sensitivities to long-wave fields, which proved to be that required by the microspectrophotometric results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations of colour vision in a New World primate can be explained by polymorphism of retinal photopigments
TL;DR: Good quantitative agreement was found when the microspectrophoto-metrically measured absorbance spectra were used to predict the behavioural sensitivity of individual animals to long wavelengths and suggests that the behavioural variation arises from variation in the retinal photopigments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computerized simulation of color appearance for dichromats
TL;DR: An algorithm that transforms a digitized color image so as to simulate for normal observers the appearance of the image for people who have dichromatic forms of color blindness is proposed.
