Cephalopods are known for their ability to change camouflage body patterns in response to
changes in the visual background. Recent research has used artificial substrates such as …

Everyone knows what camouflage is and how it works. And many people (some scientists
included) think chameleons are the masters of color change. Wrong on both counts. In this …

Camouflage versatility is probably no better developed in the animal kingdom than in the
coleoid cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish). These marine molluscs possess soft …

The camouflaging abilities of cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) are remarkable and well known. It
is commonly believed that cuttlefish—although color blind—actively match various colors of …

Many cephalopods escape detection using camouflage. This behaviour relies on a visual
assessment of the surroundings, on an interpretation of visual-texture statistics,–and on …

Cephalopods are well known for their diverse, quick-changing camouflage in a wide range
of shallow habitats worldwide. However, there is no documentation that cephalopods use …

We tested color perception based upon a robust behavioral response in which cuttlefish
(Sepia officinalis) respond to visual stimuli (a black and white checkerboard) with a …

Camouflage is a widespread phenomenon throughout nature and an important antipredator
tactic in natural selection. Many visual predators have keen color perception, and thus …

Camouflage is a key defence across taxa and frequently critical to survival. A common
strategy is background matching, resembling the colour and pattern of the environment. This …

Camouflage is driven by matching the visual environment, yet natural habitats are rarely
uniform and comprise many backgrounds. Therefore, species often exhibit adaptive traits to …
