Guillem Pérez i de Lanuza andEnrique Font. J Exp Biol jeb.104281First posted online June 4, 2014, doi:10.1242/jeb.104281. Ultraviolet (UV) vision and UV colour patches have been reported in a wide range of taxa and are increasingly appreciated as an integral part of vertebrate visual perception and communication systems. Previous studies with Lacertidae, a lizard family with diverse and complex coloration, have revealed the existence of UV-reflecting patches that may function as social signals. However, confirmation of the signalling role of UV coloration requires demonstrating that the lizards are capable of vision in the UV waveband. Leer más.. |
