🔴New #trumpetfish content!🔴 This species is colour #polymorphic so we dove (pun intended) into how the relative abundance and saliency of each morph influences the #behaviour of their prey. Find out more via the link below! 🎺🐠

Antagonistic effects of predator color morph abundance and saliency on prey anti-predator responses
Predators can have different color morphs, but whether morph abundance or saliency is more influential in shaping antipredator behavior in prey remains unc

And a new chapter begins! I'm thrilled to have started a PDRA role at @biology.ox.ac.uk with @rjpheathcote.bsky.social. Stay tuned for more fish content 🐟

The sun did briefly shine in Cambridge today on my last day in @camzoology.bsky.social. It has been a monumental 5.5 years, both professionally and personally. Words can't express my gratitude towards both the Department and the @marinebehavecol.bsky.social group for making me feel so at home 🐠

Thanks for compiling, Vivek! Less neuro and more behaviour for my credentials, but I'd love to be added if there's space 👍

Great idea, and thanks for compiling - any more room for a little one (me)?

Check out our recent paper in Current Biology! 👇Here we provide the first direct evidence of how a predator - the trumpetfish - can use ANOTHER ANIMAL for concealment when hunting! 🎺
