Hi

Day 1 @behaviour2025.bsky.social, some great talks and excited to speak tomorrow!

Winter ASAB @asab.org on *Sensory Ecology* register and submit your abstracts now (abstract deadline just a month away)!

I'm organising the conference this year with @lauraakelley.bsky.social and Innes Cuthill

Register & get more info here: asabwinter.github.io/2025/

The Adaptive Significance of Tail‐Flagging: A Test in European Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) Ecol&Evol

Was great to be involved in such an interesting paper, now published in @ecol-evol.bsky.social!

dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

A massive thank you to Innes Cuthill and @andyradford.bsky.social for the opportunity to demonstrate on the long running Lundy field course with @freyau.bsky.social.
An incredible week with some great views, projects, weather, food, and distinctly not-great run.

🚨 New paper alert! 👀 In our new opinion piece in TREE @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social, we propose #cephalopods as model systems to investigate the link between tactical #deception and #cognition in animals 🐙🦑🪄✨🧠

The first script produces squares at even intervals in luminance so they can be manually recorded with a photometer.

The second script allows a manually created gamma ramp to be applied.

Here's two scripts I wrote for PsychoPy to manually calibrate luminance as the built in way to achieve this seems to have a known error that has persisted.

A guide to setting up Psychtoolbox (MATLAB) on Linux for use with two screens I wrote a while ago.

It's what I wished I had while trying to get it working- written for someone without any prior knowledge. Hopefully of use to someone.

Yeah! Saw one in the garden a couple years ago, super cool

Believe it's butterfly conservation 🦋😎

Many thanks to @asab.org for such a great opportunity to attend and present my poster at #ASABSpring2025 and to see so many exciting pieces of research!
