Lilly E, Muscala M, Sharkey C, McCulloch K
Ecol Evol
. 2024 Apr;
14(4):e11222.
PMID: 38628921
In nearly all animals, light-sensing mediated by opsin visual pigments is important for survival and reproduction. Eyeless light-sensing systems, though vital for many animals, have received relatively less attention than...

McCulloch K, Babonis L, Liu A, Daly C, Martindale M, Koenig K
Evodevo
. 2023 Sep;
14(1):14.
PMID: 37735470
Background: Opsins are the primary proteins responsible for light detection in animals. Cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, corals) have diverse visual systems that have evolved in parallel with bilaterians (squid, flies,...

Chakraborty M, Lara A, Dang A, McCulloch K, Rainbow D, Carter D, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2023 Aug;
120(33):e2301411120.
PMID: 37552755
The acquisition of novel sexually dimorphic traits poses an evolutionary puzzle: How do new traits arise and become sex-limited? Recently acquired color vision, sexually dimorphic in animals like primates and...

Napoli F, Daly C, Neal S, McCulloch K, Zaloga A, Liu A, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2022 Nov;
32(23):5045-5056.e3.
PMID: 36356573
Coleoid cephalopods, including squid, cuttlefish, and octopus, have large and complex nervous systems and high-acuity, camera-type eyes. These traits are comparable only to features that are independently evolved in the...

McCulloch K, Macias-Munoz A, Briscoe A
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2022 Sep;
377(1862):20210288.
PMID: 36058243
The visual pigments known as opsins are the primary molecular basis for colour vision in animals. Insects are among the most diverse of animal groups and their visual systems reflect...

McCulloch K, Macias-Munoz A, Mortazavi A, Briscoe A
Mol Biol Evol
. 2022 Mar;
39(4).
PMID: 35348742
The evolution of color vision is often studied through the lens of receptor gain relative to an ancestor with fewer spectral classes of photoreceptor. For instance, in Heliconius butterflies, a...

Neal S, McCulloch K, Napoli F, Daly C, Coleman J, Koenig K
BMC Biol
. 2022 Jan;
20(1):1.
PMID: 34983491
Background: Across the Metazoa, similar genetic programs are found in the development of analogous, independently evolved, morphological features. The functional significance of this reuse and the underlying mechanisms of co-option...

McCulloch K, Koenig K
Proc Biol Sci
. 2020 Oct;
287(1937):20202055.
PMID: 33081641
The cephalopod visual system is an exquisite example of convergence in biological complexity. However, we have little understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms underpinning its elaboration. The generation of...

Macias-Munoz A, McCulloch K, Briscoe A
Genome Biol Evol
. 2017 Nov;
9(12):3398-3412.
PMID: 29136137
Vertebrate (cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein) and Drosophila (prolonged depolarization afterpotential is not apparent [PINTA]) proteins with a CRAL-TRIO domain transport retinal-based chromophores that bind to opsin proteins and are necessary for...

McCulloch K, Yuan F, Zhen Y, Aardema M, Smith G, Llorente-Bousquets J, et al.
Mol Biol Evol
. 2017 May;
34(9):2271-2284.
PMID: 28505307
Numerous animal lineages have expanded and diversified the opsin-based photoreceptors in their eyes underlying color vision behavior. However, the selective pressures giving rise to new photoreceptors and their spectral tuning...
