Join us at Virtual-VSS from 19th-24th June, for our poster presentation on Frequency Tuned Animal Warning Signals. And here is our poster

We are very pleased that our first paper has been published from our work on animal warning signals, with our collaborators at Newcastle University: Halpin, C.G., Penacchio, O., Lovell, P.G. et al. Pattern contrast influences wariness in naïve predators towards aposematic patterns. Sci … Continue reading →

The group are currently spread across the UK, working from a variety of homes, but we’re active and busy.  This month, Julie and Olivier will present at poster at Virtual Vision Sciences Society.  See upcoming posts for details, you’ll need … Continue reading →
