Pierre-Paul Bitton

Pierre-Paul Bitton is an Associate Professor in Psychology at Memorial University's Faculty of Science, heading the Visual Ecology Lab. His work examines visual communication in birds and fish, spanning perceptual mechanisms (e.g., contrast sensitivity) to social behaviors and evolutionary adaptations in photic environments.

Research integrates spatial frequency analysis, flicker fusion, and visual modeling to understand how species like Atlantic Puffins and cod respond to ecological and anthropogenic stimuli. The lab collaborates across disciplines to address conservation and behavioral questions.
