“…The AOT seems to be a most conserved optic tract in insects. It has been described in diverse insect orders such as Blattodea (Reischig & Stengl, 2002; Rosner et al, 2017), Coleoptera (Immonen et al, 2017), Diptera (Adden et al, 2019; Fischbach & LylyâHĂŒnerberg, 1983; Omoto et al, 2017; Power, 1943; Strausfeld, 1976), Lepidoptera (Collett, 1972; Strausfeld & Blest, 1970), Orthoptera (Homberg et al, 2003; Pfeiffer et al, 2005), and Hymenoptera including different Cataglyphis species (Grob et al, 2017; Held et al, 2016; Mota et al, 2011; Pfeiffer & Kinoshita, 2012; Schmitt, Stieb, et al, 2016). The AOT relays optic motion information (Collett, 1972; DeVoe et al, 1982; Paulk et al, 2008) as well as chromatic and polarization cues (Kinoshita et al, 2007; Mota et al, 2011; Pfeiffer et al, 2005) to the AOTU.…”
