My work covers sensory ecology and evolution, especially vision and adaptive coloration. Please visit my lab page for more information. The research conducted in my group and with our collaborators covers a broad range of areas, including: animal vision, in
Jolyon Troscianko
I have a background in behavioural ecology and sensory ecology, asking questions such as how an animal’s cognition or appearance to other animals affects how they interact with their environment, and how this in turn affects their evolution (see my
