• Hierarchical model of natural images and the origin of scale invariance (2013, background): “In vertebrate photoreceptors, increasing light intensity progressively decreases the membrane potential, thus representing the negative of images to the brain; in contrast, the membrane potential of invertebrate photoreceptors increases with light intensity, which is the positive image (19).”
• Evolution of Placentas in the Fish Family Poeciliidae: An Empirical Study of Macroevolution (2009, background): “In these lineages, photosensitive organs range from no more than a patch of cells that can only discriminate light versus dark to complex organs that have perceptual abilities comparable to vertebrates (Ekström & Meissl 2003, Fernald 2006, Salvini-Plawen & Mayr 1977).”
