RESEARCH OVERVIEW
We investigate the behavior of cephalopods and other marine organisms with an integrative biology approach focused at the organismal level. Molecular, cellular and ecological approaches are used to complement this organismal approach, and there is emphasis on sensory biology and behavioral ecology. Currently we are focused mostly on the highly interdisciplinary subject of camouflage and the visual perception processes that are involved.

RESEARCH AREAS
Camouflage & adaptive coloration
