Scholar-generated biography
Dr. Amanda M. Franklin is a researcher in Visual Ecology, Behavioural Ecology, and Marine Biology, focusing on the ecological and evolutionary significance of visual signals in marine organisms. Her work explores how visual traits such as iridescence, gloss, and ultraviolet reflectance influence communication, camouflage, and predator-prey interactions. Franklin's research also investigates the physiological and ecological drivers of coloration and reflectance in marine species, including their role in thermoregulation and antipredator strategies. Her studies often integrate experimental and observational approaches to understand the adaptive value of visual signals in dynamic environments.
