Summation of visual and mechanosensory feedback in Drosophila flight control [PDF]
, 2004 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster relies on feedback from multiple sensory modalities to control flight maneuvers. Two sensory organs, the compound eyes and mechanosensory hindwings called halteres, are capable of encoding angular velocity of the ...

FLUORESCENCE OF HOUSEFLY VISUAL PIGMENT [PDF]
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1984 Abstract —The fluorescence of housefly photoreceptors was studied in vivo by using the deep pseudopupil technique. Whereas the rhodopsin R490 of the peripheral retinular cells fluoresces negligibly the metarhodopsin M580 fluoresces distinctly in the red.

A `bright zone' in male hoverfly (Eristalis tenax) eyes and associated faster motion detection and increased contrast sensitivity [PDF]
, 2006 Eyes of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax are sexually dimorphic such that males have a fronto-dorsal region of large facets. In contrast to other large flies in which large facets are associated with a decreased interommatidial angle to form a dorsal `acute ...
