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 coloration and mimicry, and with increased knowledge of visual perception and computer science. In addition, trying to understand the proximate mechanisms involved in different forms of camouflage includes the need for integrating psychological and ecological factors. This can enable an understanding of the natural selection and constraints imposed on camouflage, which both influence the optimization and evolution of the camouflage strategies. Currently, there are a growing number of researchers interested in camouflage, producing more interdisciplinary links between biology, visual psychology, computer science and art. It is an exciting time to study camouflage, and the contributions to this theme represent this growing …
