直到最近，紫外线（UV）颜色感知在脊椎动物和无脊椎动物视觉中的作用在很大程度上被忽视了。然而，在过去的几年里，已经有大量关于紫外线受体在不同物种（从昆虫到哺乳动物）中的广泛分布的详细信息，以及它们在导航，觅食，种内通信和昼夜节律控制中发挥的重要功能。
Until very recently, the role of ultra-violet (UV) colour perception in vertebrate and invertebrate vision has largely been ignored. However, in the past few years, a host of detailed information has become available on the widespread distribution of UV receptors in different species — from insects to mammals — and the important functions they seem to play in navigation, foraging, intraspecies communication and the control of circadian rhythms.
