This project investigates the visual capabilities of pollinating bees, particularly their ability to detect and identify floral color patterns. By combining laboratory experiments with field studies, it aims to understand how bees achieve hyperacute vision through active sensing strategies.
The spatial resolution of insect eyes has historically been regarded as implausibly poor.
Considering only the static optic apparatus of the compound eye, many scholars thought that insects could only see as many pixels as the eye had ommatidial lenses depending on species, some dozen to a few thousand.
If true, this would render insects virtually blind to many fine-grained biological signals supposedly directed at them, such as the intricate patterns on many flowers.
However, the postdoctoral…
