Article Synopsis
- Many animals, including birds and fish, can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which is important for activities like foraging and communication in environments rich in UV.
- In our study of 11 species of anemonefish, we discovered eight functional opsin genes related to their vision, highlighting the evolution of UV sensitivity among coral reef fishes.
- Our findings included gene duplications of UV-sensitive opsins and detailed expressions of different cone opsins in the false clown anemonefish, paving the way for future research on UV vision in reef environments.
Substrate-borne vibratory signals are thought to be one of the most ancient and taxonomically widespread communication signals among animal species, including Drosophila flies. During courtship, the male Drosophila abdomen tremulates (as defined in Busnel et al.) to generate vibrations in the courting substrate.
