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

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 …

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 …

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

Animal camouflage is a longstanding example of adaptation. Much research has tested how
camouflage prevents detection and recognition, largely focusing on changes to an animal's …

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 an important anti-predator strategy for many animals and is traditionally
thought of as being tightly linked to a specific visual background. While much work focuses …

Animals achieve camouflage through a variety of mechanisms, of which background
matching and disruptive coloration are likely the most common. Although many studies have …

Camouflage is one of the most widespread antipredator strategies in the animal kingdom,
yet no animal can match its background perfectly in a complex environment. Therefore …

Natural selection shapes the evolution of anti-predator defences, such as camouflage. It is
currently contentious whether crypsis and disruptive coloration are alternative mechanisms …
