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 t1p.de/8543w

✨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 👀

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!

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🐝🧭

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...🪱👀
