Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Trichromatic vision may have evolved as an aid to frugivory. This hypothesis is supported by the recent demonstration that the spatial characteristics of pictures containing fruit are particularly well matched to the abilities of the human visual system.
