Red-shift of spectral sensitivity due to screening pigment migration in the eyes of a moth, Adoxophyes orana

Red-shift of spectral sensitivity due to screening pigment migration in the eyes of a moth, Adoxophyes orana

Abstract Background We have found that the spectral sensitivity of the compound eye in the summer fruit tortrix moth (Adoxophyes orana) differs in laboratory strains originating from different regions of Japan. We have investigated the mechanisms underlying this anomalous spectral sensitivity. Metho...
