Evolution of Eye Morphology and Rhodopsin Expression in the Drosophila melanogaster Species Subgroup

A striking diversity of compound eye size and shape has evolved among insects. The number of ommatidia and their size are major determinants of the visual sensitivity and acuity of the compound eye. Each ommatidium is composed of eight photoreceptor cells that facilitate the discrimination of differ...
