🚨 New paper alert! 👀In our new opinion piece in @Trends_Ecol_Evo, we propose #cephalopods as model systems to investigate the link between tactical #deception and #cognition in animals 🐙🦑🪄✨🧠 Read the paper here: 🔗 cell.com/trends/ecology…

Moreover, we find that when controlling for underlying abundance, #lionfish are encountered deeper, form larger maximum #group sizes and are caught in larger maximum catch sizes in areas with higher #hunting pressure. @Sam_Matchette @MarineBehavEcol @JHerbertread

🚨Our new paper is out now in Biological Invasions. Using a #citizenscience approach we find correlations between #invasive #lionfish abundance, the length of time invaded, and human #hunting pressure in the western #Atlantic and #Caribbean Sea. doi.org/10.1007/s10530…

🚨 Our new paper is out now in Ethology. Here we show that #lionfish show social attraction to conspecifics when selecting shelters. doi.org/10.1111/eth.13…

Overall, we find no evidence that lionfish utilise ambient soundscapes of different habitat types for directional orientation during the day.

Moreover, lionfish activity was not influenced by the habitat playback type, nor did their preference interact with body size.

🚨Excited that the first chapter from my PhD is now out in Marine Biology. Here we show that #lionfish do not show any directional preferences for ambient #soundscapes during diurnal hours. 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🧵A thread to find out more:

Had a lovely day at @CamZoology Seminar Day on Friday. Tried my hand at a 1-minute flash talk to promote my poster on #lionfish sociability.

Had a great time yesterday listening to interesting talks and presenting my first poster at @CamZoology seminar day. Was very proud to win the poster competition with my work on #lionfish activity in response to ambient sound!
