This week's #Crustacean wrap up:
#We review the visual systems of crustacean larvae, concentrating on the compound eyes of #decapod and #stomatopod larvae as well as the functional and behavioral aspects of their #vision.."

In my latest @nytimes.com, honeycreepers are adapted to the most unforgiving of ecosystems, at high elevations where mosquitoes can’t go, equipped with curved bills suited to forage on native flowers. Now. researchers have pinpointed another evolutionary trick

Out now in @sicbjournals.bsky.social! 🪶 Did you know that male and female color variation in birds can be impacted by hormones? In our new review, we reconstruct the evolution of sexual dichromatism across 8,000+ species and compare hormonal influences on dichromatic plumage.
