Color, activity period, and eye structure in four lineages of ants: pale, nocturnal species have evolved larger eyes and larger facets than their dark, diurnal congeners
This study compares eye structure between nocturnal and diurnal ant species, finding that pale, nocturnal species generally have larger eyes and facets than dark, diurnal ones, but no consistent differences in visual acuity-related features.
