Opsin gene expression plasticity and spectral sensitivity in male damselflies could mediate female colour morph detection

N. S. Roberts, E. I. Svensson, M. A. Lienard

This study examines opsin gene expression and spectral sensitivity in male damselflies, finding plasticity in opsin expression that may influence their ability to detect female colour morphs.

Convergent evolution of noxious heat sensing by TRPA5, a novel class of heat sensor in Rhodnius prolixus

M. A. Lienard, D. Baez-Nieto, C.-C. Tsai, W. A. Valencia-Montoya, B. Werin, U. Johanson, J.-M. Lassance, J. Q. Pan, N. Yu, N. E. Pierce

The paper identifies TRPA5 as a novel heat-sensing receptor in Rhodnius prolixus, showing high thermosensitivity and structural similarities to fruit fly TRPA1.

The evolution of red colour vision is linked to coordinated rhodopsin tuning in lycaenid butterflies

M. A. Lienard, G. D. Bernard, A. A. Allen, J.-M. Lassance, S. Song, R. A. Rabideau Childers, N. Yu, D. Ye, A. Stephenson, W. A. Valencia Montoya, S. Salzman, M. R. Whitaker, M. Calonje, F. Zhang, N. E. Pierce

This study links the evolution of red colour vision in lycaenid butterflies to coordinated rhodopsin tuning, showing how molecular changes in multiple opsins expand spectral sensitivity for visual tasks.
