Light avoidance in larval lampreys is mediated by dermal photoreceptors located in the tail. These photoreceptors continue to function in adults, but they seem redundant because post-metamorphic lampreys possess well-developed eyes. This study examined the role of dermal photoreceptors in adult sea lampreys by testing whether temperature-induced ch...
