Vision in mosquitoes plays a critical but understudied role in their attraction to hosts. Here, the authors show that encounter with an attractive odor gates the mosquito attraction to specific colors. nature.com/articles/s4146… Jeff Riffell Claire Rusch Diego Alonso San Alberto #Mosquito

The popularity of machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and artificial intelligence (AI) has risen in recent years. In this new review article Pichler and Hartig address their developments and prospects for the field of Ecology and Evolution. 👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I'm pleased to finally share the first paper from my PhD "The travel speeds of large animals are limited by their heat-dissipation capacities" published in the open access journal PLOS Biology with my coauthors Ulrich Brose EcoNetLab, Emilio Berti, Benjamin Rosenbaum @MyriamHirt.

Conference season 2/3 #ECEM2023 UFZ Excited about Friday's session on functional responses. I'm presenting on multi-prey feeding experiments, and watch out for Jingyi Li|s talk on integrating sensory information in FR models!

Signing off 2023 with our new preprint on multi-species functional response experiments. Analyze single- and multi-prey data, with or without prey replacement, all in a flexible Bayesian framework in R. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Jingyi Li for her work on a functional response model that mechanistically includes information exchange between predator & prey, and sensory pollution onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…
