What is CamoEvo? CamoEvo is a toolbox for ImageJ that allows users to run camouflage evolution experiments; combining current theory on animal pattern generation, modern genetic algorithms and the format of a game to be more easily accessible. Why we

Sam Green
PhD Thesis My project investigates camouflage, colour change and transparency in chameleon prawns from the perspectives of modelled predator (fish) vision. My aim is to understand the function and mechanisms of colour change, and implications for within-species diversity and life
Emmanuelle Briolat
I am a research fellow working with Dr Jolyon Troscianko, investigating the impacts of light pollution on the visual ecology of moths, as part of a wider team with Prof Kevin Gaston, Dr Jonathan Bennie and Dr Jim Galloway. My
Launch of new Exeter Visual Ecology Group website
We’ve launched this site in order to bring together the numerous visual ecology labs based in Exeter University’s Cornwall campus, and to create a unique identity.
Eleanor Caves
Marie Curie Research fellow My research interests lie at the intersection of vision, behavioral ecology, and evolution. I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow working with Laura Kelley at University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus. Please visit my research website for

My current research project is on ‘The Role of Camouflage in the Conservation and Survival of Ground-Nesting Birds’ supervised by Jolyon Troscianko (Exeter), Martin Stevens (Exeter), Innes Cuthill (Bristol) and Andrew Hoodless (GWCT).
Laura Kelley
I am interested in how animals experience the world, and my research focuses on animal perception, cognition and behaviour. For up to date information, please visit my website www.laurakelleyresearch.com. My research uses birds, insects and humans to ask questions about
Martin Stevens
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
