A Barbosa, LM Mäthger, KC Buresch, J Kelly, C Chubb… - Vision research, 2008 - Elsevier
Cuttlefish are cephalopod molluscs that achieve dynamic camouflage by rapidly extracting
visual information from the background and neurally implementing an appropriate skin (or …

[HTML][HTML] The scaling effects of substrate texture on camouflage patterning in cuttlefish

CC Chiao, C Chubb, K Buresch, L Siemann… - Vision research, 2009 - Elsevier
Camouflage is the primary defense in cuttlefish. The rich repertoire of their body patterns can
be categorized into three types: uniform, mottle, and disruptive. Several recent studies have …

A review of visual perception mechanisms that regulate rapid adaptive camouflage in cuttlefish

CC Chiao, C Chubb, RT Hanlon - Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2015 - Springer
We review recent research on the visual mechanisms of rapid adaptive camouflage in
cuttlefish. These neurophysiologically complex marine invertebrates can camouflage …

[HTML][HTML] Interactive effects of size, contrast, intensity and configuration of background objects in evoking disruptive camouflage in cuttlefish

CC Chiao, C Chubb, RT Hanlon - Vision research, 2007 - Elsevier
Disruptive body coloration is a primary camouflage tactic of cuttlefish. Because rapid
changeable coloration of cephalopods is guided visually, we can present different visual …

Perception of visual texture and the expression of disruptive camouflage by the cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis

EJ Kelman, RJ Baddeley… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Juvenile cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) camouflage themselves by changing their body pattern
according to the background. This behaviour can be used to investigate visual perception in …

Cuttlefish dynamic camouflage: responses to substrate choice and integration of multiple visual cues

JJ Allen, LM Mäthger, A Barbosa… - … of the Royal …, 2010 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Prey camouflage is an evolutionary response to predation pressure. Cephalopods have
extensive camouflage capabilities and studying them can offer insight into effective …

[HTML][HTML] The use of background matching vs. masquerade for camouflage in cuttlefish Sepia officinalis

KC Buresch, LM Mäthger, JJ Allen, C Bennice, N Smith… - Vision research, 2011 - Elsevier
Cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, commonly use their visually-guided, rapid adaptive camouflage
for multiple tactics to avoid detection or recognition by predators. Two common tactics are …

Perception of edges and visual texture in the camouflage of the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis

S Zylinski, D Osorio, AJ Shohet - … Transactions of the …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, provides a fascinating opportunity to investigate the
mechanisms of camouflage as it rapidly changes its body patterns in response to the visual …

Mottle camouflage patterns in cuttlefish: quantitative characterization and visual background stimuli that evoke them

CC Chiao, C Chubb, KC Buresch… - Journal of …, 2010 - journals.biologists.com
Cuttlefish and other cephalopods achieve dynamic background matching with two general
classes of body patterns: uniform (or uniformly stippled) patterns and mottle patterns. Both …

Cuttlefish cue visually on area—not shape or aspect ratio—of light objects in the substrate to produce disruptive body patterns for camouflage

CC Chiao, RT Hanlon - The Biological Bulletin, 2001 - journals.uchicago.edu
Cephalopods have at least 20 body patterns for camouflage, yet these can be organized into
four categories: uniform, stipple, mottle, and disruptive (1). Among them, disruptive …
