| Adaptive design in retinal cone topographies of the domestic cat, cheetah and other felids | |
| 2006 Conference Proceeding | |
While the domestic cat has served as a mammalian model to study retinal circuitry from photoreceptors to ganglion cells, data on the visual capacities of large and endangered Felid species are sparse, We have gathered eyes from 7 felid species, cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), lion (Panthera leo), tiger (Panthera tigris), jaguar (Panthera onca), Siberian manul (Felis manul), Eurasian lynx (Felis lynx) and domestic cats (Felis catus) to compare their retinal cone photoreceptor topography and discuss its correlation to specific lifestyles and habitats. |
