It is now widely accepted that the brunt of animal communication is conducted via several
modalities, eg acoustic and visual, either simultaneously or sequentially. This is a laudable …

In many vertebrates, courtship occurs through the performance of elaborate behavioral
displays that are as spectacular as they are complex. The question of how sexual selection …

Bioinspired dynamic structural color has great potential for use in dynamic displays, sensors,
cryptography, and camouflage. However, it is quite rare for artificial structural color devices …

Responsive structural colors from artificially engineered micro/nanostructures are critical to
the development of anti‐counterfeiting, optical encryption, and intelligent display. Herein, the …

Structural colors, derived from existing natural creatures, have aroused widespread attention
in the materials regulation for different applications. Here, inspired by the color adjusting …

Many animals have the potential to discriminate nonspectral colors. For humans, purple is
the clearest example of a nonspectral color. It is perceived when two color cone types in the …

Colourful ornaments often communicate salient information to mates, and theory predicts
covariance between signal expression and individual quality. This has borne out among …

Signals reliably convey information to a receiver. To be reliable, differences between
individuals in signal properties must be consistent and easily perceived and evaluated by …

To understand the diversity of ways in which natural materials interact with light, it is
important to consider how their reflectance changes with the angle of illumination or viewing …

Animal colour patterns remain a lively focus of evolutionary and behavioural ecology,
despite the considerable conceptual and technical developments over the last four decades …
