DESCRIPTION:Visual information governs many of the decisions animals take\
 , and is often key to their survival. The appearance of a scene is governe
 d by its lighting\, 3D habitat geometry\, and colours\, and this scene app
 earance in turn determines how an animal’s camouflage or signalling stra
 tegies 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.
