The key role of behaviour in animal camouflage
Animal camouflage represents one of the most important ways of preventing (or facilitating)
predation. It attracted the attention of the earliest evolutionary biologists, and today remains …

Cognition and the evolution of camouflage
Camouflage is one of the most widespread forms of anti-predator defence and prevents prey
individuals from being detected or correctly recognized by would-be predators. Over the past …

Optimal background matching camouflage
Background matching is the most familiar and widespread camouflage strategy: avoiding
detection by having a similar colour and pattern to the background. Optimizing background …

Improvement of individual camouflage through background choice in ground-nesting birds
Animal camouflage is a longstanding example of adaptation. Much research has tested how
camouflage prevents detection and recognition, largely focusing on changes to an animal's …

Camouflage through behavior in moths: the role of background matching and disruptive coloration
Camouflage can be attained via mechanisms such as background matching (resembling the
general background) and disruptive coloration (hindering the detection of an animal's …

Microhabitat choice in island lizards enhances camouflage against avian predators
Camouflage can often be enhanced by genetic adaptation to different local environments.
However, it is less clear how individual behaviour improves camouflage effectiveness. We …

Avian vision models and field experiments determine the survival value of peppered moth camouflage
Animal defensive coloration has long provided many important examples of evolution and
adaptation. Of these, industrial melanism in the peppered moth is the classic textbook …

Rock pool fish use a combination of colour change and substrate choice to improve camouflage
Camouflage can be achieved by both morphological (eg colour, brightness and pattern
change) and behavioural (eg substrate preference) means. Much of the research on …
