🚨NEW paper alert🚨 Latest instalment in the #trumpetfish story: colour polymorphic individuals choose to ‘shadow’ non-predatory fishes of similar colour, gaining them a hunting advantage Led by the wonderful @sammatchette.bsky.social Out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Invasive lionfish respond to ambient soundscapes, but only at night- perhaps because vision is less reliable? 🐟🪸 #ASABWinter2025

🚨 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 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. doi.org/10.1007/s105...

An interesting day spent at the 1st European #Lionfish Conference in Crete and a great visit to the aquarium and HCMR.Thanks @kotrschal.bsky.social for organising.

🚨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/...

🚨 Our new paper is out now in Ethology. Here we show that #lionfish show social attraction to conspecifics when selecting shelters. doi.org/10.1111/eth....

🚨Excited that the first chapter from my PhD is now out in Marine Biology. Here we show that #lionfish do not show any directional preferences for ambient #soundscapes during diurnal hours. 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🧵A thread to find out more:

Merry fishmas from the MBE group! 🐟
