Ant Eye Measurements and Statistics

Automatic (output from the ommatidia detecting algorithm, ODA) and manual measurements of ommatidia count and diameter of replicas of five ant species taken previously: Notoncus ectatommoides and Camponotus aeneopilosus (from Palavalli-Nettimi and Narendra (2018)), Myrmecia nigrocincta, M. tarsata, and Rhytidoponera inornata (from Palavalli-Nettimi et al. (2019)).<br>References:<br><br>Palavalli-Nettimi, Ravindra, and Ajay Narendra. 2018. “Miniaturisation Decreases Visual Navigational Competence in Ants.” Journal of Experimental Biology 221(7):jeb177238.<br>Palavalli-Nettimi, Ravindra, Yuri Ogawa, Laura A.
