Antagonistic effects of predator color morph abundance and saliency on prey anti-predator responses
Predators can have different color morphs, but whether morph abundance or saliency is more influential in shaping antipredator behavior in prey remains unc

And a new chapter begins! I'm thrilled to have started a PDRA role at
@biology.ox.ac.uk
with
@rjpheathcote.bsky.social
. Stay tuned for more fish content 🐟

The sun did briefly shine in Cambridge today on my last day in
@camzoology.bsky.social
. It has been a monumental 5.5 years, both professionally and personally. Words can't express my gratitude towards both the Department and the
@marinebehavecol.bsky.social
group for making me feel so at home 🐠

🚨Our new paper is out now in Biological Invasions. Using a
#citizen_science
approach, we find correlations between
#invasive
#lionfish
abundance, the length of time invaded, and human
#hunting
pressure in the western
#Atlantic
and
#Caribbean
Sea.

Citizen science reveals relationships between human hunting pressure and the abundance and behaviour of invasive lionfish (Pterois spp.) - Biological Invasions
Predation can shape the distribution and abundance of animals in an environment, with a major source of predation in some systems now coming from humans. However, measuring the influence of human acti...

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
