Check out this new paper about how fish miss during predatory attacks! @EeobUcr @J_Exp_Biol #fish @UCRCNAS @UCR_ScienceNews

[Seth Shirazi @sethshirazi]

My first publication! https://t.co/B4EJXdSzMD
How do fish miss their strikes? With an unparalleled sample size, we found that misses were primarily due to the distance from which a fish initiates its strike, making timing (not biomechanics) the main factor of failure. @J_Exp_Biol

@bartlebeer I think this is a fantastic idea!

[Tim Higham @HighamLab]

@JohnRHutchinson This is fantastic news! A great addition to an amazing journal!
