title: Color vision in salamander larvae.
abstract: In behavioral experiments using monochromatic prey-patterns, larval salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) are able to discriminate colored from white light. In the retina only blue-yellow opponent-color ganglion cells were recorded. Thus the color vision in these animals is dichromatic.
