Hunt, Mark W. Hankins, Shaun P Collin, N. Justin Marshall1st ed. 2014.New York, NY :Springer US :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (278 p.)Springer Series in Vision Research,2625-2635 ;4Description based upon print version of record.1-4614-4354-7 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Photopigments are molecules that react to light and mediate a number of processes and behaviours in animals. Visual pigments housed within the photoreceptors of the eye, such as the rods and cones in vertebrates are the best known, however, visual pigments are increasingly being found in other tissues, including other retinal cells, the skin and the brain. Other closely related molecules from the G protein family, such as melanopsin mediate light driven processes including circadian rhythmicity and pupil constriction. This Volume examines the enormous diversity of visual pigments and traces the evolution of these G protein coupled receptors in both invertebrates and vertebrates in the context of the visual and non-visual demands dictated by a species’ ecological niche.Springer Series in Vision Research,2625-2635 ;4NeurosciencesOphthalmologyCell biologyNeuroscienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006Ophthalmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H44004Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Neurosciences.Ophthalmology.Cell biology.Neurosciences.Ophthalmology.Cell Biology.571.6610612.8617.7Hunt David Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHankins Mark Wedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtCollin Shaun Pedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMarshall N.
