Summary: The speed with which triggerfish detect patterned stimuli cannot be explained by a single image statistic. The relationship between pattern statistics and animal behaviour is complex, and is likely to be distance dependent.

As part of a research project led by Maël Doré (@Eonymus) on mimicry in tropical butterflies, we have developed a survey to quantify our perception of butterfly color patterns. ⌛ < 10 min
Your participation would be very helpful.The more data we have, the better. Thank you so much!

Hi!
I study mitochondrial physiology and evolution with a focus on co-adaptation and co-evolution in a diverse set of cool critters.
Also I'm fascinated with vibrant coloration in animals and want to work out the details of how they are produced.
I'm one year in to my first faculty job and am recruiting grad students to join my lab at Iowa State University.
