近年来，人们对脊椎动物紫外线视觉的研究兴趣高涨。具有紫外线视觉的视网膜光色素在鸟类和鱼类中似乎比较普遍，有证据表明，在以下每一类动物的某些物种中都能找到这种色素：两栖动物、爬行动物和哺乳动物。在回顾了脊椎动物紫外线视觉的分布和性质之后，讨论了这种能力的利用问题。
Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in the study of ultraviolet vision in vertebrates. The presence of retinal photopigments that allow for ultraviolet vision appear to be relatively common among birds and fishes, and there is evidence that such pigments are to be found in some species from each of the following classes: amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Following a review of the distribution and nature of ultraviolet vision in vertebrates the issue of the utility of this capacity is discussed.
