Insect photoreceptor adaptations to night vision.
Night vision is ultimately about extracting information from a noisy visual input. Several species of nocturnal insects exhibit complex visually guided behaviour in conditions where most animals are practically blind. The compound eyes of nocturnal insects produce strong responses to single photons and process them into meaningful neural signals, which are amplified by specialized neuroanatomic...
متن کاملDrosophila's View on Insect Vision
Within the last 400 million years, insects have radiated into at least a million species, accounting for more than half of all known living organisms: they are the most successful group in the animal kingdom, found in almost all environments of the planet, ranging in body size from a mere 0.1 mm up to half a meter. Their eyes, together with the respective parts of the nervous system dedicated t...
متن کاملAre insect pollinators more generalist than insect herbivores?
Recent community-level studies have acknowledged that generalist species are more widespread than previously thought and highlighted their preponderant impact on community functioning and evolution. It is suggested that the type of interaction, trophic versus mutualistic, should affect species generalization level; however, no direct comparison has been made yet. Here, we performed such a compa...
متن کاملInsect Vision: Controlling Actions through Optic Flow
Insects depend upon optic flow to supply much of their information about the three-dimensional structure of the world. Many insects use translational flow to measure the distance of objects from themselves. A recent study has provided new insights into the way Drosophila use optic flow to pick out a close target to approach.
متن کاملInsect Vision: Remembering the Shape of Things
How does the nervous system store a newly experienced visual pattern, and how is that pattern subsequently made available for recognition? Recent work in Drosophila suggests that specific pattern features are stored separately in the nervous system.
