Summary
This paper discusses the photosensitivity of chromatophores in non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates, focusing on the role of cone opsins in the photoresponses of these cells.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of opsins, which are proteins in the eye that contribute to vision, in the photosensitivity of chromatophores in non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates.
Education and learning: The paper provides new information about the role of opsins in the photosensitivity of chromatophores, contributing to the scientific understanding of these cells.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings about the photosensitivity of chromatophores could potentially inform lighting design considerations for environments inhabited by non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates.
