New paper out in @jexpbiol.bsky.social! Under the leadership of @lienardmarjorie.bsky.social, we explore the visual system of the Black Grouse and how it plays a role in how the species deals (or not) with human-made structures in its environment. journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-...

Exploring the visual system of the black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix): combining experimental and molecular approaches to inform strategies for reducing collisions
Highlighted Article: Investigation of how black grouse perceive their environment suggests how vision-informed marker design may improve detection of aerial structures and reduce collision risk.

Opsin gene expression plasticity and spectral sensitivity in male damselflies could mediate female colour morph detection | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
The visual systems of Odonata are characterized by many opsin genes, which form the primary light-sensitive photopigments of the eye. Female-limited colour polymorphisms are also common in Odonata, wi...
