Do you or someone you love study nocturnal animals? Do you want to film behavior in infrared, but NOT spend $1k on a camera (that will die in the field anyways)? Is short battery life a constant battle? Here, this preprint will help: doi.org/10.32942/X2531K

Yaay! First ever cover! 🥳 super happy for this excellent work lead by @Massimo_De_Agro to be out! Having 8 eyes is crazy- thanks to Massimo we’re getting a bit closer to understanding how it all might work for jumping spiders. journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

🚨I am thrilled to finally share the amazing news of being awarded an Emmy Noether grant from @dfg_public In the next years, my group will focus on comprehensively studying (REM) sleep behavior, its function & ecology, in a comparative evolutionary framework using #spiders! 🕷️💤

New research from us about super-stretchy silk threads, in collaboration with @pmichalik76 and @spiderMartinR

Tweet Image 1

The threads spun by the Southern house spider (Kukulcania) to capture prey are the most extensible fibre material found in nature due to a special loops-on-loops structure with regularly coiled fibres held together by straight connecting fibres. 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rsfs.2… 👈🔓

Interested in the role that sensory processing plays in perception of animal signals? Fully funded four-year PhD to start September 2024, deadline to apply 12th May. exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…


IT'S OUT!! Monumental work describing what goes on in the brain of a wasp that recognizes conspecifics by their face. @PlasticPercep has shown face cells in a wasp! AH, so excited. Surely to be seen in textbooks soon. Congrats Chris and @IDsignals - truly inspirational work.

Thrilled to share a *NEW PRE-PRINT* I’ve been working on for the last few years! @IDsignals, W. Freiwald, and I describe the neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp, Polistes fuscatus. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

@RachLMorgan13 and @AnnaHAndreassen are back at @criobe_pf with @SuzanneCMills to investigate how hypoxia affects the vision👀of damselfish and cardinalfish🐠🪸. To do this we are 1) running optomotor experiments to see whether visual acuity is reduced at low oxygen levels and...
