Visual information governs many of the decisions animals take, and is often key to their survival. The appearance of a scene is governed by its lighting, 3D habitat geometry, and colours, and this scene appearance in turn determines how an animal’s camouflage or signalling strategies function. My work seeks to explore these interactions in a range of systems, from pollinating moths, waders and marine isopods, to genetic algorithms that optimise camouflage strategies. Some of this work has an applied conservation focus (light pollution and land management strategy), while other aspects seek to understand the role of vision on behavioural ecology and to push the boundaries of visual modelling.
