昆虫复眼的结构和功能及其研究方法
Structure and function of insect compound eyes and research approaches
摘要
Abstract
The compound eye is the primary visual organ in insects,playing a crucial role in essential behaviors such as navigation,foraging,and predator avoidance.Its unique microstructure and visual signal transduction pathways are essential for ecological adaptation.This review summarizes recent advances in four major aspects of compound eye research:microstructure,research methodologies,visual behaviors,and signal transduction mechanisms.The structural section outlines the fundamental architecture of compound eyes,including the intricate organization of ommatidia and the specialized functions of retinal cells,highlighting their synergistic role in efficient visual processing.The section on research techniques emphasizes the use of cutting-edge tools such as high-resolution microscopy and gene editing technologies.The discussion on visual behaviors focuses on the compound eyes's involvement in circadian rhythm regulation and spatial orientation.Finally,the signal transduction section elaborates on the molecular mechanisms underlying visual information transmission from photoreception,including photoactivation of visual proteins,amplification of G protein-coupled signal and ion channel regulation,with particular emphasis on newly identified regulatory molecules and feedback loops that ensure precise signal fidelity.Research on insect compound eyes supports the development of novel pest control technologies,including light-based trapping strategies,gene-targeting techniques,and advanced pest monitoring and ecological management tools.关键词
