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 …
