Delighted that a #trumpetfish has made the 🌟cover🌟 of @royalsocietypublishing.org journal #ProceedingsB. Read about how these predatory #fish hide against similarly coloured non-threatening species to #camouflage on the move in our #OpenAccess article: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #behaviour #marine
Front cover of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society, Series B showing a trumpetfish shadowing a non-threatening species of a similar colour to aid its hunting success.

Invasive lionfish respond to ambient soundscapes, but only at night- perhaps because vision is less reliable? 🐟🪸 #ASABWinter2025

Lionfish (Pterois volitans) Show Social Attraction to Conspecifics When Selecting Shelters
Group formation in animals can arise from two primary mechanisms: individuals aggregating over resources, or individuals socially benefiting from interacting with conspecifics. Distinguishing between...

Great Barrier Reef fish reveal that large-scale macroecological patterns have changed significantly 🐟🐠 We found that changes in latitudinal diversity gradient & rising species turnover were strongly correlated with shifts in coral composition Out now in Nature Comms www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Had a great weekend at #RCUK2024 with Lancaster University! It was an amazing first conference experience and I was able to engage with the latest research in reef science and conservation. Looking forward to applying what I’ve learnt to my own work!
