This fall, we will again be running the renowned Sensory Ecology postgrad course here in Lund. Find information and sign up at the link below. Registration is on a first come-first serve basis.

This week, I had the opportunity to interview Prof Eric Warrant. Eric is a new Academy Corresponding Fellow and an authority on dim-light vision and navigation. I left with a new appreciation for the Bogong moth's long-distance navigation and an excellent kanelbullar recipe.
New perspective published in @PNASNews about fluorescence in tetrapods. Briefly: Fluorescence is probably usually not a visual signal, but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting!

We (Exeter Visual Ecology @UniExeCEC) are hosting a FREE visual ecology symposium in Falmouth, Cornwall on Tuesday 2nd July. Limited to 50 attendees, a day of talks followed by beach BBQ (weather permitting!) DM for more info or sign up here https://t.co/0pAsFeKLdn
Professor Warrant is a Professor of Zoology, Head of the Lund Vision Group, and Head of the Division of Sensory Biology at Lund University. An Australian by birth currently residing in Sweden, he leads an active research group studying vision and visual navigation in nocturnal and deep-sea animals.
Professor Warrant is a Visiting Fellow at @OurANU and Adjunct Professor at @UniversitySA.
🚨#PhDposition You love🦋👁️#insects#vision#flight and are curious about how moths adjust their vision and movement dynamically to night-time lights (incl. #ALAN): apply to become part of our team @UniKonstanz (https://t.co/FFKBzKUGrQ):

The @lunduniversity press office made a great video about our recent paper on the amazing eyes of alciopid polychaetes!

@Biology_LU @LundVision
New paper on the wonderful googly eyes of alciopid worms out now in @CurrentBiology! We found that alongside vertebrates, arthropods, and cephalopods, this group of polychaetes is capable of high-resolution vision - but mysteries remain...🪱👀

It was a loonnnnnng time coming but our paper on path dependent evolution of visual systems is out in Science! @RebeccaMVarney@joie_cannon@Morris_Glr Dan Speiser Doug Eernisse.

Also, nice Perspective piece by @lauren_hsr !

Checking for aestivating #bogong moths on Mt Morgan with Eric Warrant from @LundVision. Lots of great sites they once used, but none there now -- similar story to that on Mt Gingera to the north. Next available habitat Mt Jagungal. #bogongMoth#AgrotisInfusa#migrations
We're hiring! <°°)))><
Interested in deep-sea fish and their eyes? In molecular evolution? We look for a PhD student to join our team in Prague. ERC funding for the single-cell transcriptomics. https://t.co/p9EMj3WUAI (postdocs wanted too, stay tuned). Happy for retweets!😍 thks
I've been thinking about the transience of life, and you can't take it with you, so I'll be tweeting my own deep-sea photos about one-a-day for people to use however they want (just credit me). This is a sequence of the light emission of the shrimp Heterocarpus ensifer.
After a request (and because I also would find this useful) I'm testing out some options for altering recolorize output in user-selected regions. Would love some beta-testers; please email (or DM) if this might be useful for you and you'd be willing to provide feedback.
Colour vision folks, kindly invited to the colvis society meeting in Ljubljana, 5-9 July 2024! Now accepting abstracts. Conference web site https://t.co/S4NWMMcOZm
This is such a wonderful course. Attending this changed my scientific career and trajectory. I recommend all the enthusiastic sensory biology peeps to attend this if possible. My experience was tremendous. @LundVision
New cost:benefit approach shows photoreceptor costs shape entire eye, including optics. Investments in photoreceptors compete with investments in optics to determine eye design https://t.co/KNiC3VIMgr
