The evolution of phototransduction and eyes – Special issue

Remember in December last year we had a special issue from Evolution: Education and Outreach dealing with the aspect related to evolution of eyes.That special issue was edited by T. Ryan Gregory, who also wrote the Introduction to the issue.

Now there is another journal “Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B” has come out with some excellent collection of papers on “The evolution of phototransduction and eyes”,edited by some very well known scientists Trevor D. Lamb, Detlev Arendt, and Shaun P. Collin.

squidThe list of articles from the special issue on eyes:
