Sentence examples for vision evolution from inspiring English sources

The quest to better understand color vision evolution often leads scientists to consider the unusual, those animals whose visual capabilities defy expectations.

A classical hypothesis on color vision evolution predicts that the red-green contrast is important for primates to detect objects from a distance against a background of foliage because foliages show a narrow range of L/(L+M) chromaticity while showing a broad range of S/(L+M) and luminance values which are likely to be distractive to the task of detecting objects [19], [20], [28].

The phylogenetic distribution of SWS1 cone opsin types in Passeriformes reveals a much higher degree of complexity in avian colour vision evolution than what was previously indicated from the limited data available.

Further population genetic and molecular phylogenic studies of primate visual opsins including humans, as well as observation and experiments on vision-guided primate behaviors, and phenological studies of habitats of wild primates will elucidate the detailed conditions of color vision evolution in primates.

The expansiveness of Powell's vision -- evolution at his fingertips -- as he peers up at the walls of the Grand Canyon is balanced by the intimacy of what Toab sees when he looks out over the Kaibab Plateau, aided only by the stories that are familiar to him.

Excellent as all these works were, though, there is something that still seems fresh as one reads that first book (1937)—where Dobzhansky wrestled for the first time in an extended format with problems of reconciling the genetics of populations with the Darwinian vision of evolution through natural selection.

But in the narrower sense of the origin of Darwin's vision of evolution as predominantly a matter of adaptive modification of organismic phenotypic features the beginnings of his evolutionary theory that have come down to us today—I believe a slightly emended version of Sulloway's (1982) thesis is basically correct.
