About

James Herbert-Read is the Whitten Lecturer in Marine Biology at the University of Cambridge, UK. His research areas encompass animal behavior and cognition, particularly in relation to marine species such as lionfish and cuttlefish. Recent publications examine topics including habitat quality effects on territoriality, the role of visual cues in predation, and the interaction of animals with technology. His work contributes valuable insights into biological conservation and the complexities of predator-prey dynamics.
