Color vision in squirrel monkeys: Sex-related differences suggest the mode of inheritance
Abstract
Behavioral tests of vision in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) reveal that there are widespread individual variations in color vision in this species. The variation has a sex-related component: whereas both trichromatic and dichromatic color vision occurs among female monkeys, males appear exclusively dichromatic. This finding suggests that, unlike humans, squirrel monkeys have only a single photopigment locus on the X chromosome.

In the citing paper
“NW primates are a different case; it appears that dichromacy is maintained in the majority of squirrel monkeys and related species simply because there are no males with the genes required for trichromacy (Jacobs & Neitz, 1985).”

In the citing paper
“In cebid monkeys in which there 3 equally spaced spectral types of photopigments, for females, a balancing selection produced by the heterozygous advantage of trichromacy has produced three alleles at near equal frequency, maximizing the number of trichromats (Jacobs & Neitz, 1985, Mollon et al., 1984).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
