Lunchtime Discovery: The Sensory World of Squid

  • Wednesday, November 03, 2021
  • 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Dr. Carly York

Dr. Carly York, Assistant Professor of Biology, Lenoir-Rhyne University

Animals have unique sensory modalities that allow them to successfully navigate their environment. A particularly important role of these senses is to find prey and avoid predators. In this talk, we will discuss how a squid’s extraordinary senses help it to detect and respond to an approaching predator, as well as how this research can be applied to an invasive species in North Carolina.
