Dynamic Electroretinography in Monochromatic Lights and Fluorescence Electroretinography in Lemurs

Unique morphology of the human eye and its adaptive meaning: comparative studies on external morphology of the primate eye

“…However, since most primate groups except the prosimians have all these anatomical structures, the difference in eye shape parameters among phylogenic groups cannot be explained by the difference in these visual functions. For example, some nocturnal prosimian species are the only primates which lack both cone cell and a fovea in their eyes (Wolin & Massopust, 1970;Alfieri et al, 1976;Webb & Kass, 1976;Debruyn et al, 1980;Castenholtz, 1984). Figure 3 shows the relationship of eye shape parameters with orbital axis angle measured from the cranium (Shigehara, 1996) which reflects the ability of stereoscopic vision.…”
