Spectral tuning and signaling of diverse and far red–sensitive rhodopsins in mantis shrimp eyes

Stomatopod crustaceans (mantis shrimps) have extraordinary eyes with unmatched visual rhodopsin diversity, but their potential for broad color detection remains unclear. Here, we report that 17 rhodopsins, mostly from the midband eye region, are involved in color sensing and func...
