Abstract

Several different types of trichromatic and dichromatic color vision have been detected in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus). In this paper we report that these different color vision phenotypes can be accurately distinguished using data from the electroretinogram obtained with a flicker photometric procedure.
