Figure 4. — Compound eye properties of different castes of Myrmecia ants. (a) Absolute eye area; (b) eye area relative to body length; (c) number of ommatidia; (d) facet diameters (bar indicates the total range of facet diameters in each caste); (e) optical cut-off frequency ν_co = A/λ, where A = facet diameter (the largest facet diameter was used), λ = wavelength (0.5 µm); (f) rhabdom diameter; (g) diameter of the median ocellus and (h) ocellus diameter relative to body length. All values are means ± s.d. with n = 5 for workers (, blue), alate females (♀, red) and alate males (♂, green). Otherwise conventions as before.
