BACKGROUND The interdisciplinary field of animal coloration is growing rapidly, spanning
questions about the diverse ways that animals use pigments and structures to generate …

Deimatic behaviours, also referred to as startle behaviours, are used against predators and
rivals. Although many are spectacular, their proximate and ultimate causes remain unclear …

Many cephalopods escape detection using camouflage. This behaviour relies on a visual
assessment of the surroundings, on an interpretation of visual-texture statistics,–and on …

With their large brains, elaborate sense organs and complex behaviour, cephalopods are
among the world's most highly evolved invertebrates. This second edition summarises the …

Animals from a wide range of taxonomic groups are capable of colour change, of which
camouflage is one of the main functions. A considerable amount of past work on this subject …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

Cephalopods are extraordinary molluscs equipped with vertebrate‐like intelligence and a
unique buoyancy system for locomotion. A growing body of evidence from the fossil record …

Face perception serves as the basis for much of human social exchange. Diverse
information can be extracted about an individual from a single glance at their face, including …

Organisms capable of rapid physiological colour change have become model taxa in the
study of camouflage because they are able to respond dynamically to the changes in their …

The strategies underlying different forms of protective coloration are well understood but little
attention has been paid to the ecological, life‐history and behavioural circumstances under …
