Our principle aim is to understand how other animals perceive their environment. As arrogant humans, we tend to assume we are the pinnacle of evolution, however, certainly in sensory terms this is far from true.
Justin Marshall is an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow in the Queensland Brain Institute and leads the Sensory Neurobiology Group (Marshall Lab). He has published extensively, including over 200 papers, chapters / reviews and several edited and written books including Visual Ecology from Princeton University Press. He is co-senior editor on the Springer Series in Vision Research book series with close colleague Shaun Collin.
Our principle aim in the lab is to understand how other animals perceive their environment. As arrogant humans, we tend to assume we are the pinnacle of evolution, however, certainly in sensory terms this is far from true. By taking an approach to sensory systems that is based around ecology but also includes physiology, anatomy, behaviour and neural integration, we hope to decode signals and their intention in the animal kingdom. One of the animal groups we work on is the stomatopods (mantis shrimps), which are reef-dwelling crustaceans with the world’s most complex colour vision system. These lowly crustaceans possess four times as many colour receptors as humans, four of which sample the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum, light that we cannot see.
At the other end of the scale, cephalopods such as cuttlefish, squid and octopus possess only a single photoreceptor type and are almost certainly colour blind. This makes their remarkable camouflage abilities even more astonishing but cephalopods along with several other marine creatures have specialised in polarisation vision. Understanding polarisation sensitivity in the marine environment is another aim of the lab. As well as invertebrates, reef fish, elasmobranchs (the sharks and rays) and freshwater fish such as lungfish and cichlids form focal animal assemblages for study as do non marine animals such as parrots, birds of paradise and lizards. In all these groups our interest returns to trying to interpret the way they see their environment. The environmentally extreme habitat of the deep oceans also catches the attention of some of our work and here sensory systems other than vision, vision and bioluminescence are of interest.
Finally, through studying the colour of animal habitat, it has become apparent that humans are changing the colour of the world. Through our CoralWatch project we seek to help protect our reefs through community education and engagement. I am determined to make sure the reef is there for my children and their children to enjoy. Come and help us.
