Find out more about the first findings of my #PhD on the effect of dynamic visual noise of #cephalopod behaviour 🦑
"Visual noise from caustic flicker does not affect the hunting success of cuttlefish" @Chris_Drerup , @DrMartinJohnHow and @JHerbertread tested whether caustic flicker impairs the hunting success of cuttlefish. For more info: https://t.co/13Ex9GGg0P
