Excerpt from Structure and Development of the Compound Eye of the Honey Bee
The morphology of the compound eye has puzzled zoologists for years, and much work has been done on the subject, but so diverse are the views held by the various investigators in the field that we are far from a final solution of the problem. With a view to adding some evidence from the embryological point of view this work was begun, in the belief that a detailed examination of this one insect eye would throw some light on the adult morphology.
The eye of the common honey bee, Apis mellifera, is particularly favorable for embryological work, since its growth is gradual and the steps of development well marked out. The material is also easily obtained, and the various stages of growth can be distinguished by the external appearance of the larvae and pupae. It is also favorable for a comparison with the development of the eye of Vespa, which was described by Patten, since it is desirable to find how far his results can be verified on a closely related form. The large number of omma [feb.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the embryology and structure of the compound eye of the honey bee. The author, an experienced zoologist, presents their findings after studying the gradual growth and development of the bee's eye. Their work adds new evidence to the understanding of insect vision and the evolution of the compound eye. The author demonstrates that the various cells of the eye are not homologous to other sense organs, but rather have arisen from an accumulation of light-sensitive epidermal cells. This book will appeal to entomologists, zoologists, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of insect vision.
