Evolutionary fine-tuning of background-matching camouflage among geographical populations in the sandy beach tiger beetle. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 Background-matching camouflage is a widespread adaptation in animals; however, few studies have thoroughly examined its evolutionary process and consequences.

Background matching and disruptive coloration as habitat-specific strategies for camouflage. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Camouflage is a key defence across taxa and frequently critical to survival. A common strategy is background matching, resembling the colour and pattern of the environment. This approach, however, may be ineffective in complex habitats where matching one

Cuttlefish camouflage: Blending in by matching background features. [PDF]
Current Biology, 2022 Cuttlefish are masters of camouflage and show a remarkable ability to hide in plain sight. A new study reveals how these animals translate visual information about their surroundings into effective camouflage patterns.

Background knowledge in ontology matching: A survey
Semantic Web, 2022 Ontology matching is an integral part for establishing semantic interoperability. One of the main challenges within the ontology matching operation is semantic heterogeneity, i.e. modeling differences between the two ontologies that are to be integrated.

Selection for background matching drives sympatric speciation in Wall Gecko. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 The Wall Gecko shows heterogeneous colour pattern, which may vary among individuals, depending on the time of day and on the habitat segregation. Nocturnal pale geckos live exclusively on walls.

miMatch: a microbial metabolic background matching tool for mitigating host confounding in metagenomics research [PDF]
Gut MicrobesMetagenomic research faces a persistent challenge due to the low concordance across studies. While matching host confounders can mitigate the impact of individual differences, the influence of factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle habits ...

A small-spot deformation camouflage design algorithm based on background texture matching
Defence Technology, 2023 In order to solve the problem of poor fusion between the spots of deformation camouflage and the background, a small-spot deformation camouflage design algorithm based on background texture matching is proposed in this research.

Automatic background knowledge selection for matching biomedical ontologies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ontology matching is a growing field of research that is of critical importance for the semantic web initiative. The use of background knowledge for ontology matching is often a key factor for success, particularly in complex and lexically rich domains ...
