Our paper with @BristolBioSci shows how to measure the charge on small objects found in environmental fieldwork - or those released from acoustic levitation in the lab - using a new design of Faraday cup which encloses the sensitive electronics.

Orb weaver spiders manipulate the flashing signals of captured #fireflies to trick others into their webs, researchers suggest.

✨Huge✨ congratulations to @KaylinChong on the publication of her 1st paper on the evolution of 🕷️ eye size in @CurrentBiology yesterday! 🎉
Full 🧵 later but if allometry, kooky eyes & comparative phylogenetic methods float your boat, look no further 👀

New perspective published in @PNASNews about fluorescence in tetrapods. Briefly: Fluorescence is probably usually not a visual signal, but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting!

Caterpillars can sense static electricity produced by predatory wasps as they move through the air. A stimulus designed to simulate the electrostatic characteristics and timing of wasp wingbeats caused caterpillars to go into defense mode. In PNAS: ow.ly/ewaG50RXaLU

I am happy to announce our latest pre-print, led by MS student Seth Frazer! We can predict the color sensitivity of opsin sequences quite accurately using its gene sequence alone in machine learning models. I'll write a little thread here to explain

And to close 2023, another spidery treat! Eye size is linked to many aspects of visual physiology, ecology, and behaviour - but what if you can have lots of eyes, in different sizes? @KaylinChong dived into the visual allometry of spiders to find out! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n
