✨Out Now✨ The outcome of my 1st ever #guppy experiment (from 2021!) w @ccioannou.bsky.social & @jtroscianko.bsky.social

We asked: How detectable are guppies to visual predators under different env. conditions?👇

Enhanced conspicuousness of prey in warmer water mitigates the constraint of turbidity for predators
Abstract. Changes in environmental conditions impact predator-prey interactions by altering behaviour through sensory and non-sensory (e.g. metabolic or co

Out now 🎉
The second paper from my Masters published in Scientific Reports!

We explored how acoustic noise affects collective behaviour in guppies 🐟

With fab co-authors: Ella Waples, @andyradford.bsky.social, Steve Simpson & @ccioannou.bsky.social

Screenshot of the title and author list of a scientific paper published in Scientific Reports. The title reads: “Group personality, rather than acoustic noise, causes variation in group decision-making in guppy shoals.” Authors listed are Molly A. Clark, Ella Waples, Andrew N. Radford, Stephen D. Simpson, and Christos C. Ioannou.

I’m very happy to share my first paper, and the first from my Masters, is out in Royal Society #OpenScince 🤩 w/ coauthor and supervisor @ccioannou.bsky.social

Diagram illustrating the method from the paper “quantifying animal social behaviour using ecological field methods”. It includes three main steps: (a) determining trap locations for sampling sites and collecting count data from individuals, (b) measuring phenotypic data from individuals such as size, coloration, and parasite load, and (c) recording environmental parameters like turbidity, temperature, and light intensity. The diagram features a map with marked sampling sites, grouped data points represented by fish, and icons for environmental measurements.
