I am presently trying to complete my third year research project in the
School of Biological Sciences at Bristol University. I was interested in
whether aphids have any colour preferences and whether this affects their
chioice of host. I specifically looked at aphids occuring on Field Maple
trees. I'm having trouble finding any recent background information on
aphid colour vision, as most of the work on insect vision seems to have
been on bees. I would appreciate any advice or nudges in the right
direction.
Thank you
