Thanks for the snapshot Riverside, really appreciate that snapshot selection 🤡 Just filmed a little piece talking about my research and what advice I'd give to undergraduates looking to get into the field of visual ecology for an upcoming biology textbook from Oxford University Press 🦋🤸♂️🌟
Spiders doing weird stuff with their eyes and brains yet again ❤️🔥
Watch a harvestman in action as it devours a worm, showcasing its unique predatory skills. These fascinating arachnids are more than meets the eye.
This is a great opportunity with a great group 🧠🦋
Finally answered the "should we start a podcast" call that waits for us all...
Episode 1 of Inside Geroscience is out now! Tune in for conversations about the biology of ageing with leading scientists in the field. Brought to you by the Academy of Geroscience, available on all podcast platforms.
Pollinators matter for human health!🐝
Our new @nature.com paper traces links from wild pollinators>crops>nutrient intake & income of families in rural Nepal—showing how pollinator declines threaten health & livelihoods, but also how farmers can help manage these risks doi.org/10.1038/s415...
📢 New pre-print alert!
Most spiders have eight eyes, but not all - PhD researcher Antonio Galán Sánchez and Dr Andres Rivera Quiroz @naturalis.bsky.social led an exciting new analysis of the evolution of eye number and losses in spiders on a truly incredible scale!

New paper out now!
Biologically inspired warning patterns deter a passerine, Parus major, from digital turbine blades academic.oup.com/beheco/artic...
Beautiful new preprint from Antonio and Andres on the evolution of eye loss in spiders! Find the full thread below for details on unequal losses across parallel visual systems, possible regains of eyes, 1000s of surveyed species, ecological and developmental clues, and a gratuitous dinosaur emoji 🦕
Monarch butterflies and Bogong moths are incredible navigators that annually migrate thousands of kilometers. In this review, Basil el Jundi and Eric Warrant @lundvision.bsky.social outline the neural mechansims underlying long-distance migration in insects. 🦋

By mimicking the warning colours of animals that ward off birds, we can produce wind turbine patterns to which birds are averse, reducing the likelihood of
Many animals, such as birds and bats, are capable of migrating over vast distances to specific destinations. Remarkably, even insects such as the Nort…

Out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org - we show that crab spiders (the ones you usually see ambushing pollinators on flowers 🕷️🌸) get worse at hunting if their eyes are covered!🫣 Sounds obvious? It's actually quite surprising, here's why... 👀 (1/8)
