In the last few years, there has been an explosion of camouflage studies. The renewed
interest in concealment has partly arisen following a growing body of research into warning …

Octopus, squid and cuttlefish are renowned for rapid adaptive coloration that is used for a
wide range of communication and camouflage. Structural coloration plays a key role in …

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 …

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 …

Disruptive coloration breaks up the shape and destroys the outline of an object, hindering
detection. The principle was first suggested approximately a century ago, but, although …

Animals possess a range of defensive markings to reduce the risk of predation, including
warning colours, camouflage, eyespots and mimicry. These different strategies are …

Individual cuttlefish, octopus and squid have the versatile capability to use body patterns for
background matching and disruptive coloration. We define—qualitatively and quantitatively …

The coleoid cephalopods (cuttlefish, octopus, and squid) are a group of soft-bodied mollusks
that exhibit a wealth of complex behaviors, including dynamic camouflage, object mimicry …

The ability to change appearance over a range of timescales is widespread in nature,
existing in many invertebrate and vertebrate groups. This can include color change …

Cuttlefish are cephalopod molluscs that achieve dynamic camouflage by rapidly extracting
visual information from the background and neurally implementing an appropriate skin (or …
