The avian plumage color gamut is the complete range of plumage colors, as seen by birds
themselves. We used a tetrahedral avian color stimulus space to estimate the avian …

Coevolutionary arms races are a potent force in evolution, and brood parasite–host
dynamics provide classical examples. Different host‐races of the common cuckoo, Cuculus …

Birds have impressive physiological adaptations for colour vision, including tetrachromacy
and coloured oil droplets, yet it is not clear exactly how well birds can discriminate the …

This paper presents the first evidence of tetrachromacy among invertebrates. The Japanese
yellow swallowtail butterfly, Papilio xuthus, uses colour vision when foraging. The retina of …

Summary 1 Fruits are among the most antioxidant‐rich foods in nature and thus can be
important dietary sources for combating oxidative stress in animals and humans. 2 Because …

Color in nature presents a striking dimension of variation, though understanding its function
and evolution largely depends on our ability to capture the perspective of relevant viewers …

This book about various types of visual defense (coloration, morphology, movement) of
plants against herbivores is not just a list of facts and hypotheses, with a reference source …
