Meeting Abstract 109-1 Monday, Jan. 7 08:00 – 08:15 Regionally Specific Temporal Summation Improves Motion Vision in Small Fruit Flies CURREA, JP*; THEOBALD, JC; Florida International University jcurr001@fiu.edu For holometabelous insects, low larval feeding results in small but otherwise normal adults. In fruit flies, this results in conspecifics with small eyes that sacrifice contrast sensitivity optically but […]
