Stealth and deception: motion camouflage by hunting cuttlefish

Hosted by Bristol Vision Institute (BVI) 

Cuttlefish are masters of disguise. They can change their colour and texture almost instantly and have a remarkable ability to blend in to their underwater environment. Dr How has been studying a particularly flashy attribute of these species, the ability to create patterns that move across their skin. In this talk, Dr How will describe how his team is attempting to discover why these animals use these patterns, culminating in the ‘mesmerising’ hunting display of broadclub cuttlefish.
