Jewel beetle opsin duplication and divergence is the mechanism for diverse spectral sensitivities

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Camilla R. Sharkey from the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN have published the research work: Jewel Beetle Opsin Duplication and Divergence Is the Mechanism for Diverse Spectral Sensitivities, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors show that both duplications are likely unique to Buprestidae or the wider superfamily of Buprestoidea. The authors propose the Drosophila expression system as a complementary alternative to these systems and show its utility for characterizing beetle and lepidopteran opsins. The authors propose that the UV2, UV1, LW2, and LW1 opsins of buprestidae . . .
