Evolution of human colour vision other two human opsins. Middle Wavelength Sensitive Opsin (Green-sensitive opsin) – Encoded by the OPN1MW gene with a λmax of 530 found in the green region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Short Wavelength Sensitive Opsin (Blue opsin) – Encoded by the OPN1SW gene with a λmax of 430 found in the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Certain parts of opsin genes and the vision of various species, including humans, has been known to change over time with different environmental changes. Recent studies have shown that primitive nocturnal mammalian ancestors had dichromatic vision consisting of UV–sensitive and red–sensitive traits. A change
Pale-bellied white-eye Pale-bellied white-eye The pale-bellied white-eye ("Zosterops consobrinorum") is a species of bird in the Zosteropidae family. It is endemic to Sulawesi in Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The species has a limited distribution and also appears to be sensitive to human disturbance. Although not yet recognized as a subspecies of the pale-bellied white-eye, in 2003 a similar bird was discovered near the village of Wanci on Wangiwangi Island and provisionally named the Wangi Wangi white-eye ("Zosterops sp. nov."). This island is its only known home and is part of the Tukangbesi Islands to the
