Spectral organization of ommatidia in flower-visiting insects.
Wakakuwa M, Stavenga DG, Arikawa K. Wakakuwa M, et al. Photochem Photobiol. 2007 Jan-Feb;83(1):27-34. doi: 10.1562/2006-03-03-IR-831. Photochem Photobiol. 2007. PMID: 16930092 Free article. Review.
This article reviews recent advances of studies on the spectral organization of the compound eye in lepidopteran and hymenopteran insects. The compound eyes consist of ommatidia, which contain a set of photoreceptor cells. The common feature is that the ommatidia ca …

Plasmonic ommatidia for lensless compound-eye vision.
Kogos LC, Li Y, Liu J, Li Y, Tian L, Paiella R. Kogos LC, et al. Nat Commun. 2020 Apr 2;11(1):1637. doi: 10.1038/s41467-020-15460-0. Nat Commun. 2020. PMID: 32242009 Free PMC article.
The vision system of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans is based on the compound-eye architecture, consisting of a dense array of individual imaging elements (ommatidia) pointing along different directions. This arrangement is particularly attractive for imaging ap …

Variations of larval ommatidia in four species of Bittacidae (Insecta: Mecoptera).
Ma WR, Bai JL, Hua BZ. Ma WR, et al. Zoology (Jena). 2025 Jul;171:126279. doi: 10.1016/j.zool.2025.126279. Epub 2025 Jun 7. Zoology (Jena). 2025. PMID: 40516127
The compound eyes of larvae each consist of six to ten ommatidia in the most widely distributed Bittacus cirratus Tjeder, but are composed of seven to nine ommatidia in B. planus Cheng and B. lii Zhou, and seven to eight ommatidia in Terrobittacus longisetus …

Asymmetric ommatidia count and behavioural lateralization in the ant Temnothorax albipennis.
Hunt ER, Dornan C, Sendova-Franks AB, Franks NR. Hunt ER, et al. Sci Rep. 2018 Apr 11;8(1):5825. doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-23652-4. Sci Rep. 2018. PMID: 29643429 Free PMC article.
Fifty-six workers were examined: 45% had more ommatidia in the right eye, 36% more in the left, and 20% an equal number. A tentative connection between relative ommatidia count for each eye and turning behaviour was identified, with a stronger assessment of behaviou …

Automated measurement of ommatidia in the compound eyes of beetles.
Schramm BW, Gudowska A, Kapustka F, Labecka AM, Czarnoleski M, Kozłowski J. Schramm BW, et al. Biotechniques. 2015 Aug 1;59(2):99-101. doi: 10.2144/000114316. eCollection 2015 Aug. Biotechniques. 2015. PMID: 26260089 Free article.
The size of the ommatidia that compose the insect compound eye is linked to visual capacity, physiological performance, and cell size. Therefore, rapid and reliable methods for measuring ommatidia can advance research on insect ecology and evolution. We developed an …

EyeHex toolbox for complete segmentation of ommatidia in fruit fly eyes.
Tran H, Dostatni N, Ramaekers A. Tran H, et al. Biol Open. 2025 Jun 15;14(6):bio061962. doi: 10.1242/bio.061962. Epub 2025 Jun 23. Biol Open. 2025. PMID: 40549456 Free PMC article.
EyeHex features two integrated modules: the first uses machine learning to generate probability maps of the eye and ommatidia locations, while the second, a hard-coded module, leverages the hexagonal organization of the compound eye to map individual ommatidia. ...E …

Colour vision in stomatopod crustaceans.
Cronin TW, Porter ML, Bok MJ, Caldwell RL, Marshall J. Cronin TW, et al. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2022 Oct 24;377(1862):20210278. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0278. Epub 2022 Sep 5. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2022. PMID: 36058241 Free PMC article. Review.
Their unusual compound eyes have dorsal and ventral regions resembling typical crustacean apposition designs separated by a unique region called the midband that consists of from two to six parallel rows of ommatidia. In species with six-row midbands, the dorsal four rows …

Preferential adhesion maintains separation of ommatidia in the Drosophila eye.
Bao S, Fischbach KF, Corbin V, Cagan RL. Bao S, et al. Dev Biol. 2010 Aug 15;344(2):948-56. doi: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2010.06.013. Epub 2010 Jun 16. Dev Biol. 2010. PMID: 20599904 Free PMC article.
Consistent with the role of these factors in sorting ommatidia, mis-expression of Hbs plus Sns within a single IOC led to complete separation of the cell from neighboring ommatidia. Our results indicate mutual preferential adhesion between ommatidia and IOCs …

Ommatidia of blow fly, house fly, and flesh fly: implication of their vision efficiency.
Sukontason KL, Chaiwong T, Piangjai S, Upakut S, Moophayak K, Sukontason K. Sukontason KL, et al. Parasitol Res. 2008 Jun;103(1):123-31. doi: 10.1007/s00436-008-0939-y. Parasitol Res. 2008. PMID: 18343951
Scanning electron microscopy analysis of adult flies revealed the sexual dimorphism in the compound eye. Male C. megacephala had large ommatidia in the upper two thirds part and small ommatidia in the lower one third part, whereas only small ommatidia were de …
