Understanding how wrasses and parrotfish see is helping The University of Queensland scientists understand more about the biodiversity found on the Great Barrier Reef. The reef is one of the most visually diverse environments on the planet, especially in terms of light availability and the colours and patterns on the animals that live on the reef. Research from the Queensland Brain Institute, led by Professor Justin Marshall and Ms Genevieve Phillips, gives new insights into the visual proteins responsible for colour vision in these fish.
