Unravelling reef fish vision
We are applying new genetic, photographic and behavioural approaches to our studies on anemonefish to reveal novel aspects of colour vision on the reef.
Project leads: Justin Marshall, Fabio Cortesi, Karen Cheney
Bio-inspiration from stomatopods and cephalopods
We are understanding vision, neural coding and behavioural innovations in these marine animal to generate new technologies and advanced products.
Project lead: Justin Marshall
‘Super-human’ colour vision
We are investigating animals that have multiple (>3) spectral sensitivities to determine whether they have enhanced abilities to perceive colour.
Project lead: Karen Cheney
Reef fish vision in a changing world
We are investigating the molecular underpinnings of how the natural visual plasticity in reef fishes adjusts to changing environments.
Project lead: Fabio Cortesi
Did colour vision evolve in the dark?
We are studying the ability of fishes to perceive colour in dim-light conditions, filling a knowledge gap in visual neuroscience and ecology and inspiring new sensor technologies.
Project lead: Fanny de Busserolles
