The evolutionary diversity of insect retinal mosaics: common design principles and emerging molecular logic. Issue 6 (June 2015) - Wernet, Mathias F.
Highlights Insect retinas contain homologous building blocks. The stochastic retinal mosaics of different insects bear striking similarities. Insect retinas contain localized specializations with defined functions. Regional differences in the retinal mosaic have behavioral consequences. Retinal bands and stripes are poorly understood emerging design challenges.
