For camouflage to succeed, an individual has to pass undetected, unrecognized or
untargeted, and hence it is the processing of visual information that needs to be deceived …

I suggest that the cuckoo's parasitic adaptations are of two kinds:'trickery', which is how adult
cuckoos and cuckoo eggs and chicks evade host defences, and involves adaptations that …

Quantitative measurements of colour, pattern and morphology are vital to a growing range of
disciplines. Digital cameras are readily available and already widely used for making these …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

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

One of the most striking outcomes of coevolution between species is egg mimicry by brood
parasitic birds, resulting from rejection behavior by discriminating host parents. Yet, how …

Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals
to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However …

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