The most famous hunting behaviour for cuttlefish is the Broadclub Cuttlefish's (Ascarosepion latimanus) "passing-stripe" display.
The cuttlefish will extend its arms and create a pattern of downward moving stripes, which confuses prey long enough for the cuttlefish to strike.

🚨Very happy that my PhD work is now out in @nature.com!
We discovered that evolution, by acting in the midbrain, shifted the threshold to escape in Peromyscus mice, to fine-tune defensive strategies in different environments

This was a truly collaborative effort! 🧵⬇️

The other day I had the fantastic opportunity to talk with 7th graders about genomes, brains and evolution 🧬🧠 🦑 thanks to @skypeascientist.bsky.social.
As is usually the case, I was amazed by the kids questions.
They even sent me these beautiful artworks :’)

We are launching the Fourth Edition of the Evolutionary Biology Crash Course ⭐ @evobiocc.bsky.social ⭐. There will be three weeks covering a myriad of topics in evolutionary biology with many practicals.
Please RT to reach as many students as possible.

Doing science is mostly just realizing that what you initially lack in expertise, you more than make up for with excitement

The non-model organism “renaissance” has arrived
Meet 10 neuroscientists bringing model diversity back with the funky animals they study.
