Animal camouflage provides some of the most striking examples of the workings of natural
selection, whether employed defensively to reduce predation risk, or offensively to minimise …

Animal camouflage has long been used to illustrate the power of natural selection, and
provides an excellent testbed for investigating the trade‐offs affecting the adaptive value of …

In the last few years, there has been an explosion of camouflage studies. The renewed
interest in concealment has partly arisen following a growing body of research into warning …

In the last decade, research on the previously dormant field of camouflage has advanced
rapidly, with numerous studies challenging traditional concepts, investigating previously …

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 …

Animal camouflage represents one of the most important ways of preventing (or facilitating)
predation. It attracted the attention of the earliest evolutionary biologists, and today remains …

Camouflage is an important strategy in animals to prevent predation. This includes
disruptive coloration, where high-contrast markings placed at an animal's edge break up the …

Camouflage and warning coloration are usually viewed as alternative defensive strategies
at opposite ends of the conspicuousness continuum. However, camouflage is compromised …

The aim of this chapter is to review the evidence that organisms have adaptations that have
been selected because they confer difficulty of detection by enemies (principally predators …

Camouflage is the primary defence of many animals and includes multiple strategies that
interfere with figure-ground segmentation and object recognition. While matching …
