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

For many birds, the fight for survival begins at the egg stage: avoiding predation is
paramount. At a broad phylogenetic level, selection by predators for egg camouflage …

Camouflage is a widespread strategy to avoid predation and is of particular importance for
animals with reduced mobility or those in exposed habitats. Camouflage often relies on …

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

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 defences, and its mechanistic basis
has attracted considerable interest in recent years. The effectiveness of camouflage …

Camouflage represents an important component of self-protection when animals cannot
easily evade predators and is often altered by behavioural responses to a predation threat …

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 …
