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/…

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 🦑👀🇫🇮

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
27 Apr 2023
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 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…
