Check out our new paper on trumpet fish camouflage! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔵🎺🐟🟡

🚨Our new paper is out NOW in @jexpbiol.bsky.social 👀 Here we show that cuttlefish use visual contrast cues to inform their 3D camouflage, but these contrast cues can derive from true background features as well as exposure to dynamic lighting patterns. 🦑🔆 🔗 doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

🚨New paper alert! If you want to know more about #trumpetfish and how their colours affect the behaviour of their prey, check out our new paper in @behavecol.bsky.social #BehavioralEcology. 🎺🐠➡️🟤🔵🟡➡️🐟👀🏃

🚨 New paper alert! 👀 In our new opinion piece in TREE @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social, we propose #cephalopods as model systems to investigate the link between tactical #deception and #cognition in animals 🐙🦑🪄✨🧠 Read the paper here: 🔗 www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

🚨Our new paper is out NOW in @ecol-evol.bsky.social 👀 Here we show that prior exposure to dynamic illumination can have a persisting effect on the visual perception of 🦀, reducing their ability to detect predators even after the dynamic illumination has ended. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In our latest paper, we describe how the passing-stripe hunting display of the broadclub cuttlefish camouflages the hunting predator during the final moments of the attack. Read more here www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @drmartinjhow.bsky.social @jtroscianko.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

Big thanks to @biologists.bsky.social for organising the amazing #biologists100 conference in #Liverpool and giving me the opportunity to present my work on the effect of background motion on animal visual systems. 🙏

Merry #MolluscMonday - here are some Sepioteuthis australis attempting to mate at the Rainbow Reef in Fiji - thanks @christiandrerup.com for the id and explanation 🦑 youtu.be/9qf4H49IRSI?...

I'm thrilled to announce that I've started a Postdoctoral Research Associate position at @insectneurolab.bsky.social @durham-university.bsky.social this week, working with @lenariab.bsky.social on behavioural and physiological adaptations in mosquito pupae. In summary, I'll be working on 🦟🚱🦟👁️👃➡️💧?

Reminder that there's one week left to apply for this job. Please pass on the information to anyone who might be interested!

I made the Insect Sensory Neuro starter pack - let me know in the comments if you'd like to be added! (and also I'm sure I missed tons of people - tag them in!) go.bsky.app/JW7c5LN

Is #MolluscMonday a thing? Here is some type of Sepiolida (Bobtail Squid) from Anilao in the Philippines. One of the best things about night dives in the tropics is finding these little ones. #MarineLife #Inverts

Lots of great sounding PhD projects available from the NERC GW4+ DTP: www.nercgw4plus.ac.uk Including (a very flexible) one with us on the role of brain and behavioural adaptation, and hybrid disruption, in speciation: www.nercgw4plus.ac.uk/projects-202... 🧪 #evolution #behaviour

Merry fishmas from the MBE group! 🐟

Let's try to fill this starter pack with people involved in cephalopod research! 🦑🐙 Please share and let me know if you want to be added! 💪

It's #Nudivember so please enjoy these #nudibranch pictures I took over the last couple of years. For more nudibranch (and other marine creatures) images, check out my underwater pictures at 🔗 christiandrerup.com/photography/

We are advertising a funded PhD project to work on bumblebees and their brains! If you are a non-UK applicant, please get in touch with me by the **6th of December** with your CV and Cover/Motivation letter. iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships...

Please re-post: I have a postdoc position open! Helsinki is great and working environment is fantastic! #colours #polymorphism #behavior #experiments #lepidoptera jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

Inspired by @hleisthen.bsky.social and @denizhanpak.bsky.social I've put together a starter pack for neuroethology (broadly defined). Follow these people if you're interested in learning about the mechanisms underlying animal behaviour. Suggestions welcome! go.bsky.app/T5JTFzE

Check out our recent paper in Current Biology! 👇Here we provide the first direct evidence of how a predator - the trumpetfish - can use ANOTHER ANIMAL for concealment when hunting! 🎺 🔗https://tinyurl.com/4p424mbx
