Color vision is widespread among insects but varies among species, depending on the
spectral sensitivities and interplay of the participating photoreceptors. The spectral sensitivity …

Bee populations are declining in the industrialized world, raising concerns for the
sustainable pollination of crops. Pesticides, pollutants, parasites, diseases, and malnutrition …

Research over the past century has revealed the impressive capacities of the honeybee,
Apis mellifera, in relation to visual perception, flight guidance, navigation, and learning and …

Research into Heliconius butterflies has made a significant contribution to evolutionary
biology. Here, we review our understanding of the diversification of these butterflies …

Abstract Each fall, eastern North American monarch butterflies in their northern range
undergo a long‐distance migration south to their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Migrants …

Color vision is an important sensory capability that enhances the detection of contrast in
retinal images. Monochromatic animals exclusively detect temporal and spatial changes in …

The capacity to explore soft tissue structures in detail is important in understanding animal
physiology and how this determines features such as movement, behaviour and the impact …

Colour vision enables animals to detect and discriminate differences in chromatic cues
independent of brightness. How the bee visual system manages this task is of interest for …

Fipronil is a pesticide widely used to control agricultural and household insect pests.
However, fipronil is highly toxic to non-target insects, including pollinators. In this study, we …

Behavioral and sensory adaptations are often reflected in the differential expansion of brain
components. These volumetric differences represent changes in cell number, size, and/or …
