Last week we had two fantastic speakers join us at the University of Exeter Penryn campus @uniexecec.bsky.social for our annual Darwin Week celebration!
Thank you to both @matteosanton.bsky.social and Andrew Hendry for each of your inspiring seminars and workshops. We have loved hosting you!
I wasn’t aware of how cute and interesting cuttlefish could be until @matteosanton.bsky.social showed us his research at @uniexecec.bsky.social Those pattern changes during predation are really mesmerising!🦑

In our latest paper, we describe how the passing-stripe hunting display of the broadclub cuttlefish camouflages the hunting predator during the final moments of the attack.

@newscientist.com article on our latest work on broadclub cuttlefish.
@drmartinjhow.bsky.social @vancedberg.bsky.social @ecologyofvision.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social
First paper out on this incredible study system! We describe the remarkably different hunting displays used by the broadclub cuttlefish in the wild.
Paper: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy....
Stay tuned for more!!

Our latest paper on the jump kinematics and choreography in the Oz Splendid Peacock spider. We filmed & analysed locomotory jumps in male & female spiders. The males are incredibly light - measuring just 2mg - and oh they can jump! Videos in the thread. Open Access - read here: tinyurl.com/4bnpz9tz
