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

Many insects, especially nocturnal insects, exhibit positive phototaxis to artificial lights. Light
traps are currently used to monitor and manage insect pest populations, and play a crucial …

Deciphering how neuronal diversity is established and maintained requires a detailed
knowledge of neuronal gene expression throughout development. In contrast to mammalian …

Previously, we demonstrated that visual and olfactory associative memories of Drosophila
share mushroom body (MB) circuits. Unlike for odor representation, the MB circuit for visual …

The Hippo signalling pathway and its transcriptional co-activator targets Yorkie/YAP/TAZ first
came to attention because of their role in tissue growth control. Over the past 15 years, it has …

Divergent populations across different environments are exposed to critical sensory
information related to locating a host or mate, as well as avoiding predators and pathogens …

When vertebrates first conquered the land, they encountered a visual world that was
radically distinct from that of their aquatic ancestors. Fish exploit the strong wavelength …

Butterflies rely extensively on colour vision to adapt to the natural world. Most species
express a broad range of colour-sensitive Rhodopsin proteins in three types of ommatidia …

Abstract Background Halyomorpha halys (Stål), the brown marmorated stink bug, is a highly
invasive insect species due in part to its exceptionally high levels of polyphagy. This species …

Abstract Pancrustacea (Hexapoda plus Crustacea) display an enormous diversity of eye
designs, including multiple types of compound eyes and single-chambered eyes, often with …
