Subtle morphological changes in the visual and antennal sensory system of bees and wasps across an urbanisation gradient

Abstract Increased temperature and fragmentation of green spaces in urban areas could drive variations in functional traits of insects. Such morphological shifts may occur for sensory systems, which were previously reported to be prone to change with habitat characteristics in non-urban contexts. He...
