  "summary": "The light environment, coupled with ecology, is widely thought to drive visual adaptation, creating species-specific visual niches. However, coral reef ecosystems experience continuous spatiotemporal variations in light conditions, and mechanisms such as phenotypic plasticity may be essential for coral reef animals to adjust to such changing sensory requirements. It remains unclear how widespread…",
