“Finally, one positively selected dim-light vision gene, SLC24A1, and two critical amino acid replacements leading to the short-wavelength shift of LWS and short-wavelength shift of SWS2 were found to be shared between owls and falcons, implying their convergent or parallel evolution adapting to the similar crepuscular light condition”.

should read:
