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 …

The strategies underlying different forms of protective coloration are well understood but little
attention has been paid to the ecological, life‐history and behavioural circumstances under …

Warning coloration are common defense strategies used by animals to deter predators.
Pestilential gregarious locusts exhibit a notable black-brown pattern as a form of warning …

Chemical defenses are frequently accompanied by salient color patterns actively avoided by
predators, a phenomenon referred to as aposematism. However, the production of both …

Anti-predator defences are typically regarded as relatively static signals that conceal prey or
advertise their unprofitability. However, startle displays are complex performances that deter …

Optimal camouflage can, in principle, be relatively easily achieved in simple, homogeneous,
environments where backgrounds always have the same colour, brightness and patterning …

Camouflage patterns prevent detection and/or recognition by matching the background,
disrupting edges, or mimicking particular background features. In variable habitats, however …

Defended species are often conspicuous and this is thought to be an honest signal of
defences, ie more toxic prey are more conspicuous. Neotropical butterflies of the large …

A diversity of defence colourations that shift over time provides protection against natural
enemies. Adaptations for camouflage depend on an organism's interactions with the natural …
