Host-trailing satellite flight behaviour is associated with greater investment in peripheral visual sensory system in miltogrammine flies
Abstract Insect sensory systems are the subjects of different selective pressures that shape their morphology. In many species of the flesh fly subfamily Miltogramminae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) that are kleptoparasitic on bees and wasps, females perch on objects close to the host nests and, once a r...
