This particular picture from an exhibition in St. Andrews Square shows individual lenses of the fruitfly's compound eye with tiny bristles placed between them. What is the biological function of these bristles? The information given was rather vague: either for protection and self-cleaning or to provide a 'sense' of the speed of flight. - Jan Wessnitzer

Ich hab dieses Paper in meiner Datenbank: 10.1242/jeb.01905; falls du das auch brauchst. Anstonsten kann ich mal bei Herrn Prof. Wolf nachfragen, der hat das Paper vom Prof. Wehner bestimmt - falls du es noch brauchst - Florian Diehl

@Florian, ja bitte! - Jan Wessnitzer

OK. We have these papers in our database, too. If you need any, let me know http://dali.biologie.uni-ulm.de/refbase... - Florian Diehl

I've checked; they dont have the paper; after trying to access the link you provided from a different net-domain, I noticed that this is a proceedings-paper from a conference; maybe thats why you only get access to it via ion.org; so I guess you'll have to buy the paper or see if there's any other paper with similar content - Florian Diehl

similar paper sent - Florian Diehl

thanks Florian. Much appreciated! - Jan Wessnitzer
