Think cuckoo eggs perfectly mimic their hosts? Think again. Our new preprint shows cuckoo eggshell color mimicry is rare. We present evidence that coevolutionary alternation, not classic arms races, drives the dazzling diversity of cuckoo eggs

It’s no secret that animals see, hear, and smell differently to humans. Yet when we design experiments to test animal behaviour, we often inadvertently use ourselves as a reference point. A new #ProcB paper investigates these biases: https://t.co/SkQD3oPfwZ

Published in its final form today, new work from @amutendolkar and the Martin Lab on the regulation of Ubx and the development of wing identity in butterflies. Includes some (partial) transformations of forewings into hindwigns. https://t.co/XOpnGD52o3
🥳My first PhD chapter is out!🥳
Have you ever wondered how birds decide which predators to attack and which to leave alone?🐦⚔️🛡️
I'm happy to tell you more today – 🔽🧵#Ornithology#AnimalBehaviour#AnimalCognition @asab_tweets @AnimBehSociety https://t.co/yOotk1lN1y
What do animals actually see? @VeraVasas@HanleyColorLab &co present a camera system & video processing pipeline that record animal-perceived colors in motion, allowing us to study color signals in their full complexity #VisualEcology#PLOSBiology https://t.co/xBWgkP9zYB
Please see our new PLoS Biology paper https://t.co/u3oU07MuoP where we debut a new animal-view video camera system! Please share, use, and adapt our system. We are eager for your thoughts and feedback. @HanleyColorLab@VeraVasas@GeorgeMasonU@GMU_Biology
