It has been a while since I want to talk about it. Now is the right time ☺️ We built a biomimetic robot to better understand how cuttlefish exchange information. Results are promising, so stay tuned 🤖

Back of the envelope calculations: 3600 years of research time went into the collective application process. The research will fund 3200 years of research. We are 400 research years poorer as a result of this. 1/2

Your average female Doratosepion andreanum cuttlefish finds nothing more alluring than the long, extended arms of a male cuttlefish aglow with elaborate patterns made of horizontally and vertically polarized light. In PNAS: ow.ly/iJYh50Y8lug

New paper out!!! Such as humans and rats, we showed that birds visual system (🐣) is tuned to specific pixel correlations from hatching: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Et un peu de lecture pour finir avec cet ouvrage paru ce mois-ci, par @maelmleroux.bsky.social et Alban Lemasson. Je vous le conseille chaudement ! Quand les animaux prennent la parole ! Le langage humain est-il unique ou sommes-nous trop centrés sur nous-mêmes pour penser ainsi ?

Quand les animaux prennent la parole !

Le langage humain est-il unique ou sommes-nous trop centrés sur nous-mêmes pour penser ainsi ? Le langage est un comportement social très complexe qui n'a pas émergé récemment, selon les éthologistes....

Back at La Rochelle to meet the season’s first hatchlings. New season = new scientific questions 😃 Here it will be about investigating the effect of ocean changes on newly hatched cuttlefish behaviours 🦑
