Among squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) there are significant sex-related differences in visual sensitivity. As measured behaviorally in an increment-thershold task, a sample of males was found to be substantially less sensitive to long-wavelength (640-nanometer) light than a group of females tested in the same way, although the two groups showed no significant differences in sensitivity to a middle-wavelength (540-nanometer) light. The two group also differed on a test designed to measure the effects of chromatic adaptation.
在松鼠猴(松鼠猴属)中,视觉敏感度存在显著的性别差异。在一项增量阈值任务中通过行为学测量发现,与以同样方式测试的一组雌性相比,一组雄性对长波长(640纳米)光的敏感度明显更低,尽管两组对中波长(540纳米)光的敏感度没有显著差异。在一项旨在测量颜色适应效果的测试中,两组也存在差异。
