Following rapid environmental change, why do some animals thrive, while others struggle?
We present an expanded, cue–response framework for predicting variation in behavioral …

Lures and other adaptations for prey attraction are particularly interesting from an
evolutionary viewpoint because they are characterized by correlational selection, involve …

A characteristic feature of living organisms is their response to the environment in search for
food or reproduction opportunities. This paper is devoted to the investigation of the pattern …

Although camouflage as an effective antipredator defense strategy is widespread across
animals, highly conspicuous color patterning is not uncommon either. Many orb‐web …

The study of deceptive signalling has provided compelling insights into evolutionary and
ecological processes. Aside from mimicry, however, research into the use of colour as a …

A number of strategies that divert attacks of visually guided predators, such as birds, have
evolved multiple times in animals. Detritus web decorations built by certain orb‐web spider …

Artificial night light has the potential to significantly alter visually-dependent species
interactions. However, examples of disruptions of species interactions through changes in …

Animal body colours can be shaped by many factors, including the need to attract mates,
avoid predators and lure prey. In some contexts, these needs might compete. A number of …

Visual prey luring in animals is typically achieved by brightly colored body parts or
excretions of the signal sender, and using signals from other organisms is rarely reported …

The fossil spider family Lagonomegopidae is widespread in the Cretaceous period, and
mainly reported from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, northern Myanmar. Here, two new …
