Summary
This paper investigates the retinal photoreceptors in two species of subterranean rodents, Ctenomys talarum and Ctenomys magellanicus, to understand their adaptation to their near-lightless burrows or their occasional diurnal surface activity.
Categories
Eye health: The paper investigates the retinal photoreceptors in two species of subterranean rodents, providing insights into their eye health and visual capabilities.
Lighting Design Considerations: The study provides insights into how these rodents have adapted to their near-lightless burrows, which could inform lighting design considerations for environments with similar conditions.
