Complex allometric relationships and ecological factors shape the development and evolution of eye size in the modular visual system of spiders

K. L. Chong, A. Grahn, C. D. Perl, L. Sumner-Rooney

This study examines eye size allometry and ecological factors in spiders, finding variable growth dynamics and significant allometric shifts linked to ecological adaptations.

Evolution of compound eye morphology underlies differences in vision between closely related Drosophila species

A. D. Buffry, J. P. Currea, F. A. Franke, R. Palavalli-Nettimi, A. P. Bodey, C. Rau, N. Samadi, S. J. Gstöhl, C. M. Schlepütz, A. P. McGregor, L. Sumner-Rooney, J. Theobald, M. Kittelmann

This study compares vision differences between Drosophila species by analyzing eye morphology and optical parameters, finding D. mauritiana has higher contrast sensitivity while D. simulans has higher spatial acuity.

Evolution of the spider homeobox gene repertoire by tandem and whole genome duplication

M. E. Aase-Remedios, R. Janssen, D. J. Leite, L. Sumner-Rooney, A. P. McGregor

The paper investigates the origin of duplicated homeobox genes in spiders, finding most are from a whole genome duplication, with evidence of subfunctionalisation in the NK cluster.

Heterochrony in orthodenticle expression is associated with ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species

M. Torres-Oliva, E. Buchberger, A. D. Buffry, M. Kittelmann, G. Guerrero, L. Sumner-Rooney, P. M. C. Gaspar, G. C. Bullinger, J. Figueras Jimenez, F. Casares, S. Arif, D. S. Nunes, N. Posnien, A. P. McGregor, I. Almudi

This study identifies differential timing of orthodenticle (otd) expression as a mechanism underlying ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species.

Characterization of the genetic architecture underlying eye size variation within Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans

P. Gaspar, S. Arif, L. Sumner-Rooney, M. Kittelmann, A. J. Bodey, D. L. Stern, M. D. S. Nunes, A. P. McGregor

This study identifies genetic factors underlying eye size variation in Drosophila species, showing that eye size and inter-ocular distance are genetically decoupled and influenced by different genomic regions.
