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

Abstract Background The compound eyes of insects exhibit extensive variation in ommatidia number and size, which affects how they see and underlies adaptations in their vision to different environments and lifestyles. However, very little is known about the genetic and developmental bases of differe...
