Such a great team on this 😎

So we checked this using reflectance data across UV, visible, and near‑infrared from 300+ species (🐦🐻 🐊 🐍🐢🕷️🥚)
I am hiring a postdoc for scRNA-seq research in Lund, Sweden on the visual systems of non-model inverts as part of an ERC project on the evolution and ecology of advanced color and polarization vision. Apply here or share the link with someone who may be interested! 🧪

Result? UV-visible reflectance plays nicely together, but visible-near IR breaks the rules. And does so differently across taxa.
Visual signals and thermal properties don’t have to be on speaking terms.
