Nothing prepared me for the amazing fireworks of blacktip sharks hunting their schooling prey. A dream come true. Thanks so much to @MaRHECenter and @AugustPala, @albi_angela, Luke and Inga. @CBehav @MPI_animalbehav @UniKonstanz #maldives #sharks

Extremely pleased to share our PNAS paper, which solves a century-old mystery..!
Young crowded locusts are black and yellow, signalling to potential predators - "Leave me alone!"
At sexual maturity, swarming males turn yellow again - but why? (1/4)

pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… An adult perspective: Juvenile desert locusts express density-dependent warning coloration to predators. Adult males do it all over again - but as a warning to other males! @Darron_Cullen @eatlikeanimals @NSF_BPRI

The second chapter of the PhD is now published in @PeerJLife! Here we describe four new markers to differentiate C- and R- strain fall armyworms. @TheSwordLab peerj.com/articles/12195 #AgriculturalScience #Entomology #EvolutionaryStudies #Genomics #MolecularBiology
