@Chris_Drerup
Postdoc at Durham University. Interested in the sensory and behavioural ecology and cognition of invertebrates 🦑🐙🦀🦐🐜 🦋 🦟 🐝
🚨We are delighted to announce that our new paper is out NOW in @CurrentBiology 🦑🌅Here we show how #cuttlefish alter their #camouflage response under naturally occuring dynamic lighting ('water caustics')! 🔗authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09… 🧵A thread to find out more:
🚨 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…
🎺WANTED: Candidates for ASAB Meeting Secretary I've enjoyed 6 years as Meetings Secretary for the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour, helping organise conferences and other meetings. It's been great, but I now have to step down. Details below Any Q's DM/email me
🚨New paper alert! If you want to know more about #trumpetfish and how their colours affect the behaviour of their prey, check out our new paper in @BehavEcol #BehavioralEcology. 🎺🐠➡️🟤🔵🟡➡️🐟👀🏃
🔴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! 🎺🐠 🔗 tinyurl.com/39vn5skp @BehavEcol
OUT NOW🎉our review on the impact of turbidity on the predator-prey interactions of freshwater🐟! In a landscape of fast-changing env conditions, we hope this review will help anyone new to the field & those seeking direction for further experimentation👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fw…
Happy to announce that I'm now officially a doctor, so all of the Dr Dre and Dr Erup jokes over the past years are finally legitimate! 🎓👨🎓🍾
