Extended Data Fig. 6 | Phylogenetic tree of amniotes depicting inferred
visual gene losses. Lineages are coloured based on a rough approximation of
their ancestral activity pattern (blue, nocturnal; yellow, diurnal). The tuatara
lineage has experienced some of the lowest rates of gene loss despite a
nocturnal ancestry, which in other lineages is associated with increased gene
loss. Supplementary Table 10.1 provides a summary of genes lost per branch.
The complete table of visual genes analysed and their presence or absence
from the various groups is available at http://www.doi.org/10.5281/
