June 2015: Lucy Nash from OUP, Dottybacks change colour to hide from prey, and moths that slow their brains down




The Behavioural Ecology and Evolution Podcast (the Beepcast) show

Summary: In this episode I discover that some species of coral reef fish change colour, and they do this to grab a sneaky meal! I also find out how moths find flowers in the dark. And in the scientific spark I talk to Lucy Nash, who is commissioning editor for science at Oxford University Press. <br> <br> <a href="http://archive.org/download/beepcast201506/beepcast201506.mp3">Download the MP3</a><br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AsTrw4lLkGU/VckYiSkk21I/AAAAAAAAAxY/kiZrQDDQszA/s1600/dottback.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AsTrw4lLkGU/VckYiSkk21I/AAAAAAAAAxY/kiZrQDDQszA/s320/dottback.jpg" width="320"></a> </div> <br> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white;color: #333333;font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Lucida, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 10px;line-height: 14px;">Copyright © N Justin Marshall/Courtesy of University of Basel</span> </div> <br> Quicklinks: <br> <a href="http://williamefeeney.com/">Will Feeney's webpage</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://evolution.unibas.ch/salzburger/team/fcortesi/">Fabio Cortesi's webpage</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(15)00151-7/">The dottyback paper in Current Biology</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/348/6240/1245.figures-only">Hovering hawkmoth paper in science</a>
