A defining feature of catarrhine primates is uniform trichromacy—the ability to distinguish red (long; L), green (medium; M), and blue (short; S) wavelengths of light. Although the tuning of photoreceptors is conserved, the ratio of L:M cones in the... Read More about Variation and heritability of retinal cone ratios in a free‐ranging population of rhesus macaques.
