Individual cuttlefish, octopus and squid have the versatile capability to use body patterns for
background matching and disruptive coloration. We define—qualitatively and quantitatively …

Coleoid cephalopods (octopuses, squids and cuttlefishes) are the only branch of the animal
kingdom outside of vertebrates to have evolved both a large brain and camera-type eyes …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

With their large brains, elaborate sense organs and complex behaviour, cephalopods are
among the world's most highly evolved invertebrates. This second edition summarises the …

Throughout their lives animals must complete many tasks, including finding food, avoiding
predators, attracting mates, and navigating through a complex and dynamic environment …

The light color of mice that inhabit the sandy dunes of Florida's coast have served as a
textbook example of adaptation for nearly a century, despite the fact that the selective …

Cuttlefish are cephalopod molluscs that achieve dynamic camouflage by rapidly extracting
visual information from the background and neurally implementing an appropriate skin (or …

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

Color change serves many antipredator functions and may allow animals to better match
environments or disrupt outlines to prevent detection. Rapid color change could potentially …

ABSTRACT A major component of cephalopod adaptive camouflage behavior has rarely
been studied: their ability to change the three‐dimensionality of their skin by morphing their …
