Color blindness as part of the retinal damage caused by diabetes. Vitamin A deficiency may also cause color blindness. Some subtle forms of color blindness may be associated with chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy (CSE), caused by long-time exposure to solvent vapors. Red–green color blindness can be caused by ethambutol, a drug used in the treatment of tuberculosis. The typical human retina contains two kinds of light cells: the rod cells (active in low light) and the cone cells (active in normal daylight). Normally, there are three kinds of cone cells, each containing a different pigment, which are activated when the pigments absorb light.
Three-spined stickleback then a stickleback's condition-factor (i.e. its ability to flee) determines how closely it approaches the predator rather than the stickleback's size. Both the strategy and reaction to different-sized partners seem to be dependent on whether the partner cooperates or defects. Sticklebacks have four colour photoreceptor cells in their retina, making them potentially tetrachromatic. They are capable of perceiving ultraviolet wavelengths of light invisible to the human eye and use such wavelengths in their normal behavioural repertoire. The three-spined stickleback is a known intermediate host for the hermaphroditic parasite "Schistocephalus solidus", a tapeworm of fish and fish-eating birds. Three-spined sticklebacks have
