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 …

Animal colour patterns are a model system for understanding evolution because they are
unusually accessible for study and experimental manipulation. This is possible because …

Camouflage–adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition–is a key example of
evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal …

Motion is a crucial part of the natural world, yet our understanding of how animals avoid
predation whilst moving remains rather limited. Although several theories have been …

Behavioral ecologists have long studied the role of coloration as a defense against natural
enemies. Recent reviews of defensive coloration have emphasized that these visual signals …

Poison dart frogs provide classic examples of warning signals: potent toxins signaled by
distinctive, conspicuous coloration. We show that, counterintuitively, the bright yellow and …

This book about various types of visual defense (coloration, morphology, movement) of
plants against herbivores is not just a list of facts and hypotheses, with a reference source …

Abstract 'Dazzle coloration'describes a wide variety of high-contrast patterns allegedly
providing protection against attack during motion. Previous research falls into three broad …

Highlights•Camouflage during motion might be ineffective against predation.•I tested
whether dynamic colour change could be advantageous during motion.•Stimulus with …

Chemically defended animals often display conspicuous color patterns that predators learn
to associate with their unprofitability and subsequently avoid. Such animals (ie, aposematic) …
