animals with reduced mobility or those in exposed habitats. Camouflage often relies on …

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 is one of the most widespread antipredator defences, and its mechanistic basis
has attracted considerable interest in recent years. The effectiveness of camouflage …

Parent birds employ various strategies to protect their offspring against nest predators. Two
well‐researched anti‐nest‐predation strategies involve visual concealment of the nest by …

Evading detection by predators is crucial for survival. Camouflage is therefore a widespread
adaptation, but despite substantial research effort our understanding of different camouflage …

Camouflage is one of the most widespread antipredator strategies in the animal kingdom,
yet no animal can match its background perfectly in a complex environment. Therefore …

Camouflage is conferred by background matching and disruption, which are both affected by
microhabitat [1]. However, microhabitat selection that enhances camouflage has only been …

When animals potentially occupy diverse microhabitats, how can camouflage be achieved?
Here we combine descriptive and experimental methods to uncover a novel form of …

Predators can adversely impact nesting success and therefore the presence of seemingly
conspicuous eggshells would appear maladaptive. The ratites, especially the tinamous …
