Temperature-dependent adaptations of whale shark vision

Researchers in Japan led by the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research, Kobe and Osaka Metropolitan University, Osaka, have discovered that whale shark vision has uniquely temperature-dependent adaptations unseen in any other lifeform. They have detailed the findings in a study titled “Whale shark rhodopsin adapted to deep-sea lifestyle by a substitution associated with human disease,” published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
