“…Intermediate states living on the order of several tens of milliseconds are clearly present in butterflies , and also in hymenopterans . Similar intermediates were not detected in the blowfly (STAVENGA, 1976;MUIJSER and STAVENGA, 1979).…”

“…Evidence for a greenabsorbing rhodopsin having a blue-absorbing metarhodopsin was obtained, as was evidence for a UV rhodopsin with a blue-absorbing metarhodopsin (STA-VENGA et al, 1977) (see Fig. Similar intermediates were not detected in the blowfly MUIJSER and STAVENGA, 1979).

Softcover reprint of the hardcover 1st edition 1979 2122/3120·543210 VI Prefacewhere the relationship between form and function is especially close. In the foreground, then, we shall stress biophysics, biochemistry, and behavior. Nevertheless, the number of species cited as examples is quite large. To guard against premature generalization, the particular species studied is named in all of the following discussions; it is clearly a bad habit to speak simply of "the fly". On the other hand, the available variety of animals should not be used as an excuse for multiplying the already far too numerous publications by repetitious experiments revealing only analogous results. Such studies of related species, if they are to be of interest, must pose new questions of their own-whether the approach employed derives from ecology, behavior, biochemistry, or biophysics. Comparative physiology can of course not be limited to the invertebrates. In many chapters vertebrates are drawn into the discussion, either because they have evolved comparable structures or functions or because they differ. Correspondingly, invertebrates are also treated elsewhere in this handbook, in addition to these two parts of Vol. VII; these articles are listed at the end of the Preface. In all cases, repetition has been avoided wherever possible.Part A is concerned primarily with the physiology of photoreceptor cells. It is impossible to draw a strict boundary between this aspect and the central nervous processes, for various reasons. First there is the obvious fact that photoreception does not stop with the photoreceptors. Second, in invertebrates, far more than in vertebrates, the study of vision has begun with and depends on behavioral experiments; as a rule, the biochemical and biophysical work has stemmed from prior analyses of behavioral physiology. Color vision, sensitivity to polarized and UV light, and extraocular photoreception are examples. Circadian periodicity, which is treated briefly, does not yet enjoy a genuine causal analysis; as such, it is a quite distinct behavioral phenomenon.The attentive reader of the contributions to these volumes will find many unsolved problems; the further research progresses, the further the horizon reced...
