Tetrachromacy in a butterfly that has eight varieties of spectral receptors
- H. Koshitaka, M. Kinoshita, M. Vorobyev, K. Arikawa
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 22 April 2008
This paper presents the first evidence of tetrachromacy among invertebrates. The Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus, uses colour vision when foraging. The retina of Papilio is… Expand

- 17 August 2007
ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop a convenient model to investigate the senescence of host defenses and the influence of food and nutrition. A small soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, was… Expand
Polarisation-dependent colour vision in Papilio butterflies.
- A. Kelber, C. Thunell, K. Arikawa
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental biology
- 15 July 2001
Butterflies of the genus Papilio have polarisation-sensitive photoreceptors in all regions of the eye, and different spectral types of receptor are sensitive to different e-vector orientations. We… Expand
Sexual Dimorphism of Short-Wavelength Photoreceptors in the Small White Butterfly, Pieris rapae crucivora
- K. Arikawa, Motohiro Wakakuwa, X. Qiu, M. Kurasawa, D. Stavenga
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 22 June 2005
The eyes of the female small white butterfly, Pieris rapae crucivora, are furnished with three classes of short-wavelength photoreceptors, with sensitivity peaks in the ultraviolet (UV) (λmax = 360… Expand
Two visual pigments in a single photoreceptor cell: identification and histological localization of three mRNAs encoding visual pigment opsins in the retina of the butterfly Papilio xuthus.
- J. Kitamoto, K. Sakamoto, K. Ozaki, Y. Mishina, K. Arikawa
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental biology
- 1 May 1998
This paper describes the localization of newly identified visual pigment opsins in the tiered retina of the Japanese yellow swallowtail Papilio xuthus. We first cloned three cDNAs encoding visual… Expand
Light on the moth-eye corneal nipple array of butterflies
- D. Stavenga, S. Foletti, G. Palasantzas, K. Arikawa
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 22 March 2006
The outer surface of the facet lenses in the compound eyes of moths consists of an array of excessive cuticular protuberances, termed corneal nipples. We have investigated the moth-eye corneal nipple… Expand
Spectral organization of the eye of a butterfly, Papilio
- K. Arikawa
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Comparative Physiology A
- 30 September 2003
This review outlines our recent studies on the spectral organization of butterfly compound eyes, with emphasis on the Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus, which is the most… Expand
Associative visual learning, color discrimination, and chromatic adaptation in the harnessed honeybee Apis mellifera L.
- Sayaka Hori, H. Takeuchi, +4 authors T. Kubo
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Comparative Physiology A
- 20 January 2006
We studied associative visual learning in harnessed honeybees trained with monochromatic lights associated with a reward of sucrose solution delivered to the antennae and proboscis, to elicit the… Expand
Depth Perception from Image Defocus in a Jumping Spider
- T. Nagata, M. Koyanagi, +7 authors A. Terakita
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 27 January 2012
A Good Judge of Distance Jumping spiders actively pursue their prey, often jumping relatively long distances in order to catch them. Such feats require accurate depth perception. Nagata et al. (p.… Expand
Evolution of color and vision of butterflies.

- Biology, Medicine
- Arthropod structure & development
- 1 December 2006
Butterfly eyes consist of three types of ommatidia, which are more or less randomly arranged in a spatially regular lattice. The corneal nipple array and the tapetum, optical structures that many but… Expand
