Article Synopsis
- Butterflies and primates have similar photopigments, making them useful for studying color vision evolution.
- Research on five Limenitis butterfly species showed a 31-nm variation in their L-sensitive photopigments, indicating diverse absorption spectra.
- Analysis of gene sequences revealed parallel evolutionary changes at specific amino acid sites that impact color sensitivity, with some sites under positive selection in both species despite a long evolutionary distance.
