..., the only L. polyphemus eyes in which UV sensitivity was previously detected, and in the dendrite of eccentric cells in lateral compound eyes. Therefore, eccentric cells, previously thought to be non-photosensitive second-order neurons, may actually be UV-sensitive photoreceptors. LpUVOps1 is also expressed...

... sensitivity, co-express the long wavelength Aaop10 rhodopsin along with the UV-sensitive Aaop8 rhodopsin. This co-expression is also found in A. gambiae UV-sensitive R7 cells, indicating that this rhodopsin co-expression is a conserved feature in these mosquito UV photoreceptors. Further studies are needed...
