This week, I had the opportunity to interview Prof Eric Warrant. Eric is a new Academy Corresponding Fellow and an authority on dim-light vision and navigation. I left with a new appreciation for the Bogong moth's long-distance navigation and an excellent kanelbullar recipe.

New perspective published in @PNASNews about fluorescence in tetrapods. Briefly: Fluorescence is probably usually not a visual signal, but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting! https://t.co/T5TTykkfw5 w/ @MichalNicola1 @abalosaurus Liliana D'Alba @mdshawkey & @JGoldenbergEvo

An excellent opportunity to work with some great people on exciting science!
🚨#PhDposition You love🦋👁️#insects #vision #flight and are curious about how moths adjust their vision and movement dynamically to night-time lights (incl. #ALAN): apply to become part of our team @UniKonstanz ( https://t.co/FFKBzKUGrQ):

The @lunduniversity press office made a great video about our recent paper on the amazing eyes of alciopid polychaetes! https://t.co/mYxYeiCrK4

New paper on the wonderful googly eyes of alciopid worms out now in @CurrentBiology! We found that alongside vertebrates, arthropods, and cephalopods, this group of polychaetes is capable of high-resolution vision - but mysteries remain...🪱👀 https://t.co/80AQd1f1Rk

It was a loonnnnnng time coming but our paper on path dependent evolution of visual systems is out in Science! @RebeccaMVarney @joie_cannon @Morris_Glr Dan Speiser Doug Eernisse. https://t.co/ZW5qpZW55X Also, nice Perspective piece by @lauren_hsr ! https://t.co/1jSiOoMoYG

Very proud to see @_leoniejohn_'s second chapter finally published! More #colsci on cryptic marine sit-and-wait predatory fish!
New paper on fish camouflage🐟 We placed scorpionfish on backgrounds of different pattern granularity to see whether they adjust their skin pattern. Find out what changes we observed! With @MatteoSanton @MicaToolbox

Checking for aestivating #bogong moths on Mt Morgan with Eric Warrant from @LundVision. Lots of great sites they once used, but none there now -- similar story to that on Mt Gingera to the north. Next available habitat Mt Jagungal. #bogongMoth #AgrotisInfusa #migrations

Mollusk eyes point to fork in evolution's path
axios.com
A group of marine mollusks evolved two different ways to see — a seemingly unrelated body feature seems to set a species' visual trajectory.

Beautiful work showing that lost eyes in harvestmen aren't completely lost after all! 😍

We're hiring! <°°)))>< Interested in deep-sea fish and their eyes? In molecular evolution? We look for a PhD student to join our team in Prague. ERC funding for the single-cell transcriptomics. https://t.co/p9EMj3WUAI (postdocs wanted too, stay tuned). Happy for retweets!😍 thks

I've been thinking about the transience of life, and you can't take it with you, so I'll be tweeting my own deep-sea photos about one-a-day for people to use however they want (just credit me). This is a sequence of the light emission of the shrimp Heterocarpus ensifer.

After a request (and because I also would find this useful) I'm testing out some options for altering recolorize output in user-selected regions. Would love some beta-testers; please email (or DM) if this might be useful for you and you'd be willing to provide feedback.

New cost:benefit approach shows photoreceptor costs shape entire eye, including optics. Investments in photoreceptors compete with investments in optics to determine eye design https://t.co/KNiC3VIMgr Made possible by brilliant co-author, Fran Heras
biorxiv.org
Because an animal invests in an eye’s optics and photoreceptor array to meet behavioural needs at minimum cost, optics and photoreceptors compete for resources to maximise eye performance. This...
