The University of Toronto department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology’s website has published a press release regarding the research of one of our PhD students, Sarah Dungan, which can be found here: Shedding light on the evolution of whale vision.
We’re happy to announce two new publications for 2016 to help ring in the new year!
First, Schott et al. continue their research into reptile vision with Evolutionary transformation of rod photoreceptors in the all-cone retina of a diurnal garter snake [PDF], published in PNAS.
Then, Hauser et al. present “Comparative sequence analyses of rhodopsin and RPE65 reveal patterns of selective constraint across hereditary retinal disease mutations” in Visual Neuroscience [PDF], a collaborative effort between many lab members, including three of our Undergraduate students.
Best wishes for a productive year, everyone!
