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!

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...🪱👀

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

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. fishevo.com/erc-funded-phd-p… (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 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
