Come see my talk on amazing scorpionfish camouflage and visual ecology of their prey on Friday 11:45 in Auditorium 2 at #icn2022lisbon! @neuroethology icn2020lisbon

So happy that my first PhD paper is finally OUT! 🐟 We show that scorpionfish change colour in response to their background within seconds and what this looks like from their prey's visual perspective. doi.org/10.1186/s12983… #camouflage #colsci micaToolbox Matteo Santon

We made a book! If you like weird and wonderful invert eyes, check it out: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… Featuring contributions from Todd Oakley Natasha Picciani, PhD @plachetzki Lauren Sumner-Rooney Alex Nahm Kingston Jeanne Serb @AndySombke Ayse Yilmaz Mireille Steck Megan Porter @zapkapow and more

NEW paper! We present a modest and versatile introductory worflow for linear modelling in R. Scripts included! We hope students and young scientist will benefit from this tool. Carefully think before you act though! Nils Anthes University of Bristol Universität Tübingen doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2…

Can you tell what's hidden here?

Wrapping up a very productive trip to study the hunting displays of the broadclub cuttlefish in the field. Watch this baby cuttle hunting! Dr Martin John How Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions @neuroethology

Our new model of colour appearance shows how many visual illusions can be explained by the limits of early low-level visual neurones. e.g. why sometimes a dark surround makes a target lighter, and other times darker. doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Our review on "The evolution and ecology of multiple antipredator defences" is out now! This paper stems from a symposium sponsored by ESEB during the pandemic, and is out now (Journal of Evolutionary Biology) thanks to the tireless leadership of David Kikuchi & Alice Exnerova doi.org/10.1111/jeb.14… #OA

Today's cover of ProcB - Signal detectability and boldness are not the same: the function of defensive coloration in nudibranchs is distance-dependent. With Karen Cheney & J. Endler UQ Science Queensland Brain Institute, UQ Visual Ecology UQ Ecology of Vision micaToolbox #colsci shorturl.at/qSV38

Matteo Santon telling us about the remarkable hunting behaviour of the broadclub cuttlefish at this year's ICIV! Ecology of Vision University of Bristol Biological Sciences

On my way to #Bielefeld for #Behaviour2023. I'm more than excited to hear about the latest findings in #animalbehaviour, and present my research on #cuttlefish #camouflage in Lecture Hall 1 on Thursday (17th) at 3.30pm. 🦑 Behaviour 2023

Having a great time at #Behaviour2023. Be sure to check out my talk Thursday afternoon at 17:00 in seminar room 1. I'll be showing the importance of light and geometry for the mechanisms of animal camouflage.

How can scorpionfish camouflage in a heterogeneous environment? Come to my talk at #Behaviour2023 to find out more! Friday 11:20 in lecture hall 4 🐟 Behaviour 2023

Funded places for early-career researchers at our Workshop 'Vision 2024: Building Bridges in Visual Ecology' organised by Eleanor Caves @EleanorCaves, Sonke Johnsen Sonke Johnsen & Lorian Schweikert @LoriSchweikert. Apply to attend at biologists.com/workshops/june… #BiologistsWorkshops

Excited to finally have this paper out after multiple years in the making with The Bellwood Lab, Reef Function Hub, and Peter Cowman "Analysing biological colour patterns from digital images: An introduction to the current toolbox" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Registration for the 2024 visual modelling workshop in Melbourne is now open. Come learn about all things animal vision modelling using ImageJ & R 🐟🐦‍⬛🦎🐝The workshop is conveniently timed with the opening of ISBE2024 (29.09.2024). Please share! #colsci eventbrite.com.au/e/qcpa-worksho…
