Animal colour vision — behavioural tests and physiological concepts
TL;DR: An overview of the methods used to study animal colour vision is given, and how quantitative modelling can suggest how photoreceptor signals are combined and compared to allow for the discrimination of biologically relevant stimuli is discussed.
Evolution of vertebrate visual pigments.
TL;DR: The visual pigments of vertebrates evolved about 500 million years ago, before the major evolutionary step of the development of jaws, and four spectrally distinct classes of cone opsin evolved through gene duplication, followed by the rod opsin class that arose from the duplication of the middle-wave-sensitive cone Opsin.

Polarization vision and its role in biological signaling
Thomas W. Cronin,Nadav Shashar,Roy L. Caldwell,Justin Marshall,Alexander G. Cheroske,Tsyr Huei Chiou +5 more
TL;DR: Polarization vision has special utility and consequently has evolved in numerous marine species, as well as at least one terrestrial animal, and is apparently used for tasks like those that color vision specializes in: contrast enhancement, camouflage breaking, object recognition, and signal detection and discrimination.

Warm Eyes Provide Superior Vision in Swordfishes
TL;DR: It is shown that warming the retina significantly improves temporal resolution, and hence the detection of rapid motion, in fast-swimming predatory fishes such as the swordfish.

Corneal power and underwater accommodation in great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis).
Gadi Katzir,Howard C. Howland +1 more
TL;DR: The results support previously reported capacities of lenticular changes in amphibious birds yet do not fully correspond with earlier reports in terms of the coupling of iris constriction with accommodation, and time course.
