Complementary shifts in photoreceptor spectral tuning unlock the full adaptive potential of ultraviolet vision in birds

Color vision in birds is mediated by four types of cone photoreceptors whose maximal sensitivities (λ(max)) are evenly spaced across the light spectrum. In the course of avian evolution, the λ(max) of the most shortwave-sensitive cone, SWS1, has switched between violet (λ(max) > 400 nm) and ultra...
