Fabulous work from Kaylin, who was a stellar summer intern back at @morethanadodo 🥳 as well as collaborator Craig Perl @ASU and student assistant Angi Grahn @mfnberlin! Thank you all 💛 as well as to @jonas_o_wolff for making such a wonderful dataset available to all!
✨Huge✨ congratulations to @KaylinChong on the publication of her 1st paper on the evolution of 🕷️ eye size in @CurrentBiology yesterday! 🎉
Full 🧵 later but if allometry, kooky eyes & comparative phylogenetic methods float your boat, look no further 👀

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!

I had a great time giving a seminar at @westernsydneyu@westsyduhie yesterday on their Hawkesbury campus near the blue mountains! Thank you to everyone that came and asked super interesting questions, and @kateumbers for kindly hosting!
Delighted to see chiton eyes hitting the scientific bigtime! 🤩 New work by @RebeccaMVarney, @UCSB_OakleyLab and colleagues identifies a new clue to the evolution of distributed vision in the best molluscs 👀
Super excited to have started my travelling fellowship @Macquarie_Uni working with @MarieHerberstei and @pipilika_aj on the vision of weird and wonderful Australian spiders, thanks to funding from @J_Exp_Biol@Co_Biologists 🕷️🇦🇺

Very happy that our beginner's guide to the ithomiine butterfly visual system is now alive and kickin' in @J_Exp_Biol! 🙌 We report extensive variation in the visual system, hinting at its lability to evolve adaptations to distinct visual environments. 🦋https://t.co/afSnWjkyPt
. @Lauren_hSR@Multipleye_Lab discusses the diversity of architecture in animal visual systems, particularly those that depart from the typical two-eyed configuration in her JEB100 Commentary in addition to outlining future directions in the area
