The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Animals avoid rapidly approaching objects. In many arthropods, angular size is a common visual cue used to decide the time of avoidance. A new study shows that fiddler crabs decide when to escape based on object angular expansion velocity.
