Factors Driving Background Choice in Scorpionfish Open
For a successful hunt, marine ambush predators such as scorpionfish need to be well camouflaged to deceive their prey. When the natural environment is heterogeneous, one strategy to maintain camouflage is choosing backgrounds to achieve be…

Integrative phylogenomics sheds light on the diversity and evolution of fluorescence in coral-dwelling gall crabs Open
Fluorescence is a notable adaptation in marine environments, helping to counteract the loss of longer wavelengths as light diminishes with depth. Studied to some extent in cnidarians and reef fish, its presence and functions in crustaceans…

Scorpionfish adjust skin pattern contrast on different backgrounds Open
The two scorpionfish species Scorpaena maderensis and S. porcus are well camouflaged ambush predators that rapidly change body colouration to adjust to background colour in less than 1 min. We tested whether individuals of both species als…

A versatile workflow for linear modelling in R Open
Linear models are applied widely to analyse empirical data. Modern software allows implementation of linear models with a few clicks or lines of code. While convenient, this increases the risk of ignoring essential assessment steps. Indeed…

A context analysis of bobbing and fin‐flicking in a small marine benthic fish Open
Most antipredator strategies increase survival of individuals by signaling to predators, by reducing the chances of being recognized as prey, or by bewildering a predator's perception. In fish, bobbing and fin‐flicking are commonly conside…

Small benthic fish strike at prey over distances that fall within theoretical predictions for active sensing using light Open
Small, benthic, cryptic fishes represent a species‐rich guild on marine substrates. Most of them are micropredators that feed on crustaceans that are often smaller than 1 mm. Typical examples are seahorses and pipefishes (Syngnathidae), mo…

Redirection of ambient light improves predator detection in a diurnal fish Open
Cases where animals use controlled illumination to improve vision are rare and thus far limited to chemiluminescence, which only functions in darkness. This constraint was recently relaxed by studies on Tripterygion delaisi , a small tripl…

Since the beginning of global trade, hundreds of species have colonized territories outside of their native range. Some of these species proliferate at the expense of native ecosystems, i.e., have become invasive. Invasive species constitu…

Visual modelling supports the potential for prey detection by means of diurnal active photolocation in a small cryptobenthic fish Open
Active sensing has been well documented in animals that use echolocation and electrolocation. Active photolocation, or active sensing using light, has received much less attention, and only in bioluminescent nocturnal species. However, evi…
