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.
Our primary research areas are:
Camouflage & adaptive coloration
Skin ultrastructure & neurobiology
Sensory ecology
Sexual selection
Fisheries, aquaculture & conservation
