Thanks Dave, very interesting abstract. My dad was a paleontology/geology student for a while and I remember him telling me about the coelacanth, when I was a kid. I think it was the first time I heard the phrase "living fossil". I immediately thought of my great-grandma, whom I was convinced had hunted mammoth in her youth.

Chuck,

Speaking of color perception, evolution and such I thought you might be interested in the open article on Nature magazine’s web site about the African coelacanth and tetrapod evolution. The African coelacanth’s genome has been sequenced. Very interesting.
