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

New study uses novel methodology to show that daytime activity shapes the appearance of prey animals to potential predators! Colour pattern phenotypes likely associated with visual signalling are mainly found in diurnal species of sea slugs🌈👇@vancedberg

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…

It's been a fantastic @MicaToolbox workshop and first few days of the conference! Not without impact by the looks: Spotted at the Haiku board at #ISBE2024 😂

We are super thrilled to meet 40 participants from all over the world for our animal vision modelling & imaging workshop in Melbourne! Just like #ISBE2024, this has been in the making since before 2020. Good things take time! @MicaToolbox #colsci

Every now and again I get to do something really cool for my job. Today was one of those days. @psychtoolbox rendered flying targets each with their own flying rules.

Checking out camera trap images just got so much more colourful. 🐗🌈Meta just released its Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) and it plays nicely with our wild boar piglets.
