This is in broad agreement with the findings of others that the deterioration of the olfactory repertoire of Old World monkeys compared with mouse, New World monkeys (except the howler monkey) and the lemur (a prosimian) has occurred concomitant with the acquisition of full trichromatic colour vision in primates (17).
The researchers were struck by the fact that howler monkeys, alone among new-world species, share with old-world primates the capacity for full colour, or "trichromatic" vision.Trichromatic vision involves three pigments, called opsins, that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light.
However, full spectral sensitivity data on the photoreceptor inputs underlying colour vision are not available for B. impatiens.
Colour vision was tested by correct identification of coloured pencils.
The following methods were applied: clinical examination, visual acuity, ophthalmoscopy, colour vision, rod absolute threshold, central visual field, pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (pVEP), ON-OFF and full-field electroretinogram (ERG).
So do those females whose X chromosomes carry identical opsin genes.The researchers believe that the emergence of separate opsin genes on the X chromosome and hence full colour vision is probably connected with the shrinkage of the OR family.
