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

Table 5

Additional pale ant species (see text) with enlarged eyes based on photographs examined on Antweb (www.antweb.org).

Species are listed alphabetically by subfamily, genus, species group, species, and subspecies. High resolution photographs of each species can be viewed by going to https://www.antweb.org/advSearch.do, then placing the genus and species name in the advanced search box. Brightness values are given as mean (n) (see text). Relative eye size was calculated as eye area/mesosoma length.
