Animals, like humans, suffer and die from natural causes. This is particularly true of animals
living in the wild, given their high exposure to, and low capacity to cope with, harmful natural …

Color in nature mediates numerous among and within species interactions, 1 and
anthropogenic impacts have long had major influences on the color evolution of wild …

Predation is a major evolutionary force in animal ecology. Mechanisms by which prey
coloration provides camouflage has been widely studied. However, predator response to …

In shallow water, downwelling light is refracted from surface waves onto the substrate
creating bands of light that fluctuate in both time and space, known as caustics. This …

Animal camouflage serves a dual purpose in that it enhances both predation efficiency and
anti‐predation strategies, such as background matching, disruptive coloration …

Edge detection is important for object detection and recognition. However, we do not know
whether edge statistics accurately predict the detection of prey by potential predators. This is …

Introduction Animals use camouflage (background matching, disruptive coloration, etc.) for
protection, confusing predators and making detection difficult. Camouflage Object Detection …

Avoiding detection is vital for the survival of many animals. Factors extrinsic to animals, such
as the visual complexity of the background, have been shown to impede the detection of …
