It's out! Read about how to combine advanced animal vision modelling and colour pattern analysis with comparative phylogenetic methods in arguably some of the most incredible critters in the ocean: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.70…. Amazing work with amazing people! #colsci #micaToolbox

BUG ALERT: Naive Bayes clustering in QCPA
When using Naive Bayes clustering in <v2.3, the standard deviations instead of the means are used for downstream colour pattern analysis. For details & fix, read here: empiricalimaging.com/2025/02… #colsci

The toolbox update v2.3 is online now. It provides several bug fixes and switches to a new LibRAW (DCRAW) version, which offers support for many more recent RAW camera file formats: empiricalimaging.com/downloa…

Excited to share our new #colsci paper on how learning egg appearance guides nesting site choice for better camouflage. I enjoyed conducting this study with @CornishJackdaws and @SensoryEcology. Image analysis via @Micatoolbox. doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.0…

Out in ProcB - Chemical defences indicate bold colour patterns with reduced variability in aposematic nudibranchs - rb.gy/s1jlaq.
Data & thoughts on the ecology & evolution of aposematism, feat. our fave critters! 🐌🌊 @MicaToolbox #colsci @EcoVisUQ @EcologyofVision

This dataset is bananas. High quality, calibrated UV visible-spectrum images of >100 species of snakes let us compare across six different visual systems with @MicaToolbox. Working on it with Hayley, John David, and Alison was a genuine privilege, and I am SO GLAD IT'S OUT 🌈🐍

My first chapter is out! This was an enormously challenging project but I learned a lot and am very excited to share with you the hidden world of ultraviolet coloration in snakes.

We have considered the option to make this a dual mode (online/in person) event. To provide the best quality of the workshop for participants we will stick with an in-person format for this workshop, but will hopefully be able to run an online version in the near future.

In this handy and very approachable review, @thehemi65 et al. provide a neat overview of a broad section of currently available tools and methods for the study of colour patterns in nature. Worth a read! #colsci

Excited to finally have this paper out after multiple years in the making with @bellwoodlab, @ReefFunctionHub, and @pete_cowman

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

Paper for recolorize, my R package for color segmentation, is out! Featuring a couple of new examples. Special shoutout to @SVBelleghem, who lit a candle when we submitted it and also was just the most helpful coauthor you could hope for. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
