Fresh from the field— just had 20 days of following peacock mantis shrimp in the wild with @MatteoSanton! This work will show how mantis shrimp navigate and use their habitats. Thank you so much @neuroethology @CrustaceanSoci @challengersoc @ECSAssociation and @DrMartinJohnHow

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in @NatureEcoEvo!!
Scientists have uncovered the secrets of multispecies hunting! Octopuses & fish team up, with fish guiding the hunt and octopuses capturing hidden prey. #UniKonstanz @CBehav+@MPI_animalbehav research reveals incredible interspecies teamwork. @NatureEcoEvo

✨Huge✨ congratulations to @KaylinChong on the publication of her 1st paper on the evolution of 🕷️ eye size in @CurrentBiology yesterday! 🎉 Full 🧵 later but if allometry, kooky eyes & comparative phylogenetic methods float your boat, look no further 👀 https://t.co/nFEKia2iFJ

Chong et al. use static and phylogenetic allometry to show that spiders exploit the modularity in their visual system to adapt both individual eye pairs and the overall resource allocation between...

🚨We are delighted to announce that our new paper is out NOW in @CurrentBiology 🦑🌅Here we show how #cuttlefish alter their #camouflage response under naturally occuring dynamic lighting ('water caustics')! 🔗 https://t.co/CX5pmzVclP 🧵A thread to find out more:

This is what reefs should look like. This is what is worth fighting for.

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

How do sky conditions impact bumblebee navigation? In collab w/ @araujobees of @INSECTLab_SU Frida & @kolyfetis took polarization images of skies at @navarinoNEO that were clear, overcast & even full of Sahara dust! These help us understand how insects use the sky to navigate🐝🧭
