The compound eye of the butterfly Papilio xuthus is composed of three spectrally distinct
types of ommatidia. We investigated the blue and double-peaked green receptors that are …

Papilio butterflies depend highly on visual information in their flower‐foraging behavior. The
retina of Papilio xuthus has been studied well, whereas the visual system in the brain is …

The compound eye of the Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus, consists of
different types of ommatidia characterized by the pigmentation around the rhabdom. About …

A butterfly Papilio has 5 types of spectral receptors in the compound eye. The spectral
sensitivity of each type peaks in the UV, violet, blue, green, and red wavelengths …

The compound eye of the Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus is not
uniform. In a combined histological, electrophysiological and optical study, we found that the …

We made intracellular recordings from the photoreceptors of the polarisation-sensitive
dorsal rim area of the cricket compound eye combined with dye marking. By measuring …

The metamorphic fate of larval visual interneurons in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus
has been examined by using reduced silver impregnation and immunocytochemistry of γ …

Connectomics has become a standard neuroscience methodology in a few model animals,
1 with the visual system being a popular target of study. 2–5 Combining connectomics with …

The spectral, angular and polarization sensitivities of photoreceptors in the compound eye of
the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) are examined using electrophysiological methods …

Adult stemmata are distinctive insect photoreceptors located on the posterior surfaces of the
optic lobes. They originate as larval eyes that migrate inward during metamorphosis. We …
