A review of visual perception mechanisms that regulate rapid adaptive camouflage in cuttlefish

CC Chiao, C Chubb, RT Hanlon - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015 - Springer
We review recent research on the visual mechanisms of rapid adaptive camouflage in
cuttlefish. These neurophysiologically complex marine invertebrates can camouflage …

[HTML][HTML] How visual edge features influence cuttlefish camouflage patterning

CC Chiao, KM Ulmer, LA Siemann, KC Buresch… - Vision Research, 2013 - Elsevier
Rapid adaptive camouflage is the primary defense of soft-bodied cuttlefish. Previous studies
have shown that cuttlefish body patterns are strongly influenced by visual edges in the …

[HTML][HTML] The scaling effects of substrate texture on camouflage patterning in cuttlefish

CC Chiao, C Chubb, K Buresch, L Siemann… - Vision research, 2009 - Elsevier
Camouflage is the primary defense in cuttlefish. The rich repertoire of their body patterns can
be categorized into three types: uniform, mottle, and disruptive. Several recent studies have …

[HTML][HTML] Interactive effects of size, contrast, intensity and configuration of background objects in evoking disruptive camouflage in cuttlefish

CC Chiao, C Chubb, RT Hanlon - Vision Research, 2007 - Elsevier
Disruptive body coloration is a primary camouflage tactic of cuttlefish. Because rapid
changeable coloration of cephalopods is guided visually, we can present different visual …

Cuttlefish cue visually on area—not shape or aspect ratio—of light objects in the substrate to produce disruptive body patterns for camouflage

CC Chiao, RT Hanlon - The Biological Bulletin, 2001 - journals.uchicago.edu
Cephalopods have at least 20 body patterns for camouflage, yet these can be organized into
four categories: uniform, stipple, mottle, and disruptive (1). Among them, disruptive …

Vertical visual features have a strong influence on cuttlefish camouflage

KM Ulmer, KC Buresch, MM Kossodo… - The Biological …, 2013 - journals.uchicago.edu
Cuttlefish and other cephalopods use visual cues from their surroundings to adaptively
change their body pattern for camouflage. Numerous previous experiments have …

Cuttlefish use visual cues to determine arm postures for camouflage
