We are a team of researchers at the School of Natural Sciences, Macquarie University interested in understanding the visual ecology of invertebrates. We study a range of animals, including ants, bees, wasps, moths, roaches, flies, spiders and mantis shrimp. We study these animals across a range of ecological and temporal niches to understand the navigational decisions they make in their natural environment. We are equally interested in characterising the sensory, neural and physiological adaptations animals have evolved that drive their fascinating behaviours.
