Hypothesis

We aimed to produce a comprehensive dataset of all known cone opponent cells in non-primate vertebrates.

Conclusion

The datasets provide a synthesis of data in the field of colour processing and can be used for various meta-analyses.

Supporting Evidence

  • The datasets can identify gaps in knowledge about color vision in different species.
  • Data can be used for studies on the evolution of visual mechanisms in vertebrates.
  • Null points for cone opponent cells are provided to correlate spectral properties with cone inputs.

Takeaway

This study collected and organized information about how different animals see colors, which helps scientists understand their vision better.

Methodology

A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science databases, following PRISMA guidelines.

Limitations

The spectral opponency search is not comprehensive and may miss studies published after the initial search date.

Participant Demographics

The study included data from various non-primate vertebrate species.
