Yet another nudibranch on a journal cover! Thanks to Steve Smith for this lovely portrait of Chromodoris elisabethina.

🚨 PhD siren!🚨 We have an exciting 4 year PhD project on offer using information theory to investigate why different visual systems have evolved in ecologically similar species. Funded by SWBio DTP to start in Sept 2025! Apply here: swbio.ac.uk/animal-behaviour…

Out now in Behavioural Ecology: Highly defended nudibranchs “escape” to visually distinct background habitats - shorturl.at/uVggj with @karen_cheney @MatteoSanton @UQscience @EcoVisUQ @EcologyofVision #colsci

The nice kind of fieldwork! Much quiet, very rebreather🌊🤿🐫🐠Cruising around in the depths of Egyptian coral reefs with @DrMartinJohnHow @EcologyofVision @BristolBioSci

Bear witness! So very excited (yes, okay, I mean 'profoundly relieved') to finally send the magnum opus of my #PhD research into the world. The preprint of our big community-level study of visual system convergence in tropical rainforests is here! 1/n😀biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Calling all UK-based students of Black or mixed Black heritage, take your rockpooling skills to the next level and come and work with us 🦀🦐🐚
PhD opportunity for UK students of black heritage to join the @EcologyofVision lab, investigating the polarization ecology of the rocky shore. Details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/fu…

I had a great time travelling with Bristol's @EcologyofVision group to the @Tvarminne field station in #Finland to attend the #VisionariumXXI conference and present my research on #cuttlefish #camouflage 🦑👀🇫🇮 – at Hanko, Suomi
Earlier this year, Matteo published an R-workflow template (with code) for building and validating linear models to make statistics more accessible and reproducible for the wider science community🥳📈 see the link below
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! @AnthesNils @BristolUni @uni_tue doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2023.10…

New preprint out today! 😃 Prepare yourself for the most thorough overview of the ithomiine butterfly visual system the world has ever seen (**earth shudders**)! Feedback and comments very welcome of course. 1/n

🚨New paper alert! In the first paper originating from my #PhD, @JHerbertread, @DrMartinJohnHow and I show that, unlike in fishes, dynamic visual noise from #causticflicker does not affect the hunting success and behaviour of #cuttlefish.🦑Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.20…
