๐จ New paper alert! ๐In our new opinion piece in @Trends_Ecol_Evo, we propose #cephalopods as model systems to investigate the link between tactical #deception and #cognition in animals ๐๐ฆ๐ชโจ๐ง

Moreover, we find that when controlling for underlying abundance, #lionfish are encountered deeper, form larger maximum #group sizes and are caught in larger maximum catch sizes in areas with higher #hunting pressure. @Sam_Matchette@MarineBehavEcol @JHerbertread
๐จOur new paper is out now in Biological Invasions. Using a #citizenscience approach we find correlations between #invasive#lionfish abundance, the length of time invaded, and human #hunting pressure in the western #Atlantic and #Caribbean Sea. https://t.co/YHWpV4NtyO
An interesting day spent at the 1st European #Lionfish Conference in Crete and a great visit to the aquarium and @hcmr_gr. Thanks @KotrschalA for organising.
๐ค A HUGE thanks to @CamESS_CCLEAR for funding this work, to the @EcologyofVision group for inviting me to their lab at @BristolBioSci to conduct these experiments, and to my wonderful co-authors (and PhD supervisors) @JHerbertread and @DrMartinJohnHow ๐ฅณ๐๐ช
๐จ Our new paper is out now in Ethology. Here we show that #lionfish show social attraction to conspecifics when selecting shelters. https://t.co/D678IshjJ2
๐จExcited 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.

๐จWe are delighted to announce that our new paper is out NOW in @CurrentBiology ๐ฆ๐ Here we show how #cuttlefish alter their #camouflage response under naturally occuring dynamic lighting ('water caustics')!

๐จSo thrilled to announce that I've passed my PhD viva this week! A big thanks to @SensoryEcology and @EdgarCTurner for the great viva, as well as @JHerbertread and my lab @MarineBehavEcol for the most amazing cephalopod and crustacean-themed presents!๐ฆ๐ฆ

๐จWe are delighted to announce that our new paper is out in #Ethology ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ Here we show that dynamic illumination has limited influence on the habitat selection and behavioural activity of #crustaceans and #cephalopods.

๐จ We are delighted to announce that our new paper is out TODAY in @CurrentBiology ๐จ Here we provide the first direct evidence of how a predator - the trumpetfish - can use ANOTHER ANIMAL for concealment when hunting!

Had a great time yesterday listening to interesting talks and presenting my first poster at @CamZoology seminar day. Was very proud to win the poster competition with my work on #lionfish activity in response to ambient sound!
