Abstract
Retinal spectral sensitivity of the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) shows that this animal has a unique photoreceptor complement: there is only a single class of cone and the spectrum for these receptors is peak shifted toward the short wavelengths relative to the spectra obtained from rods.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
