Diversity in warning coloration is easily recognized by avian predators
LM Arenas, M Stevens - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Warning coloration is a widespread strategy to alert predators about prey unprofitability. The
success of this strategy partly depends on predators being able to learn and recognize …

Adapting genetic algorithms for artificial evolution of visual patterns under selection from wild predators
Camouflage is a widespread and well-studied anti-predator strategy, yet identifying which
patterns provide optimal protection in any given scenario remains challenging. Besides the …

Eggshell pigment composition covaries with phylogeny but not with life history or with nesting ecology traits of British passerines
No single hypothesis is likely to explain the diversity in eggshell coloration and patterning
across birds, suggesting that eggshell appearance is most likely to have evolved to fulfill …

Beyond correlation: do color features influence attention in rainforest?
Recent research indicates a direct relationship between low-level color features and visual
attention under natural conditions. However, the design of these studies allows only …

Color improves edge classification in human vision
Despite the complexity of the visual world, humans rarely confuse variations in illumination,
for example shadows, from variations in material properties, such as paint or stain. This …

Insect herbivory may cause changes in the visual properties of leaves and affect the camouflage of herbivores to avian predators
Abstract 'Cry for help'hypothesis predicts that attraction of predators with chemical or visual
cues can decrease insect damage of plants. Visual cues involve changes in photosynthetic …

Summation of perceptual cues in natural visual scenes
Natural visual scenes are rich in information, and any neural system analysing them must
piece together the many messages from large arrays of diverse feature detectors. It is known …
