It does what it says on the tin: tells you how to build a camera that records in photoreceptor responses, letting you see the world in animal-view colours. Please share, use and adapt our system and let us know what you find! Daniel Hanley George Mason University Mason Biology

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

A great honor to share our work Joe Hanly on frizzled receptors in butterfly wing development, alongside fellow awardee Megan Michalski!

Excited to present this preprint in collaboration with Ling Loh & Joe Hanly where we query the homology relationship between 𝐷𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑎 bristles and butterfly/moth scales. Read along for insights garnered from live imaging (my contribution), sc-RNAseq, and more!

Thrilled to share this preprint - Take a look at Ling's great thread below.

Highly recommend! Couldn't have asked for a better PhD experience with great people, beautiful location and exciting projects

Today we’re excited to freely share an early-version of, perhaps, the world’s most expansive genetics dataset: Logan. #bioinformatics #petabase #genetics #genomics #openscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of Ling Loh and the Martin lab team on this one, where we begin to unpick the molecular basis of sex-dimorphic cell type specification and differentiation in Colias butterflies.

Absolutely pleased to share the last chapter of my PhD work, alongside great contributions from fellow co-authors (including 2 superb undergrads Alex and Martina) on deciphering sexual dimorphism in wing scales of the orange sulphur
