Figure 5

SWS1 visual pigment evolution, with ancestrally reconstructed substitutions at sites 86, 90 & 93 mapped on a phylogeny of Landbirds [31–33, 40, 56, 80–87]. Experimentally reconstructed ancestral nodes are shown along with measured λmax values. GenBank accession numbers provided in Additional file 1: Table S2.
