High-sensitivity low-cost spectrometer that runs from a smartphone. Build your own from 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf components. My paper is out in JEB today. doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24…

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

Well, that's paper number 2 of the PhD out. Using 3D scans, multispectral imaging and spatial image analyses we show how lapwing use local geometry and camouflage to hide their nests. Special thanks to Game&WildConTrust and NERC GW4+ Doctoral Training Partnership for funding this research. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

What's the Day-to-Day Life of an Amazonian Evolutionary Biologist really like? New video up on my YouTube now complete with the challenges of mud, sweat, and a touch of fluster 🥵😅(feat. first live demo of OSpRad BY Jolyon Troscianko)! Full video here: youtu.be/Ah73IVTfFKQ

There are currently a couple of posts at the Cornwall Wildlife Trust that might be of interest. Including: Data and Evidence Officer (Structured Monitoring), and Ancient woodland inventory project officer cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk/jobs Please share!

Yesterday I said a fond farewell to my PhD supervisor Jolyon Troscianko after a delightful University of Exeter CEC Christmas party. Now onto Helsinki in January!

We (Exeter Visual Ecology University of Exeter CEC) are hosting a FREE visual ecology symposium in Falmouth, Cornwall on Tuesday 2nd July. Limited to 50 attendees, a day of talks followed by beach BBQ (weather permitting!) DM for more info or sign up here rb.gy/2z52r9

exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/… A new really cool-looking PhD with the amazing Jolyon Troscianko. I can not recommend it enough. Cutting-edge visual modelling methods and field work with birds, what is not to like!

PhD position available: The influence of nighttime lighting on predator-prey dynamics and the landscape of fear. Working with RSPB and endangered shorebirds, visual modelling, field & experimental work, check it out exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

New paper out showing how pulses of blue-white lights (such as those in modern car headlights) cause more harmful responses in moths compared to warmer coloured light pulses. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

‘Cool’ white car headlights more likely to dazzle moths, according to a new study by Madeleine Fabusova, Kevin J. Gaston and Jolyon Troscianko. 👉 news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-env… Author Madeleine Fabusova collected the data as part of her MSci in Conservation Biology and Ecology at University of Exeter, Cornwall.

New open-source hyperspectral camera/imager (HOSI) you can 3D print for less than $450 from Jolyon Troscianko. The HOSI system can take panoramic hyperspectral images that meet the difficult requirements of artificial light at night (ALAN) research. bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… #OpenAccess

Hyperspectral Imager paper out! High sensitivity UV to nearIR, radiance & reflectance, runs from a smartphone. Build the system for about $450 from 3D printed parts & off-the-shelf components. Paper: doi.org/10.1186/s12915… Intro video: youtube.com/watch?v=9q8lyU…
