Allometry and resolution of bee eyes (Apoidea).
A sample of compound eyes from 15 species of female pollen foraging bees (apiform Apoidea) was morphometrically analyzed. These species were chosen for size differences, different social… Expand
Numerical allometric growth of the ommatidia, antennal sensilla, and teeth of foretibial combs in the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus Dallas (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae)
Abstract Oncopeltus fasciatus (Heteroptera : Lygaeidae), the milkweed bug, was bred in captivity. Sampling showed that individuals grow exponentially through their 6 developmental stages with an… Expand

SummaryBinary choice tests revealed under field conditions of the humid tropics that well established odor trails ofOecophylla smaragdina gradually fade away over a period of three… Expand
The Light and Magnetic Compass of the Weaver Ant, Oecophylla smaragdina (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Some of the foraging of the arboreal Australian weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina takes place on the ground. Odor trails and compass orientation are used to return to the trunk of their nesting tree.… Expand
