Ah..I see. I especially liked the last part.

The increased sensitivity of PA carriers at lower light levels is consistent with the pooling of signals from the hybrid M' and the M cones and the subsequent stronger inhibition of the rods. The findings suggest that signals from hybrid photopigments may pool
preferentially with the spectrally closest "normal" pigments.

This isn't specifically my field but as an amateur astronomy (and a serious one) This explains a lot.
