Estimated absorbance spectra of the visual pigments of the North Atlantic right whale ( Eubalaena glacialis )
Abstract To assess the spectral sensitivities of the retinal visual pigments from the North Atlantic right whale ( Eubalaena glacialis ), we have cloned and sequenced two exons from the rod opsin gene and two exons from the middle‐wavelength sensitive (MWS) cone opsin gene in order to determine the...
