, 2018 Effective anti-predatory strategies typically require matching appearance and behavior in prey, and there are many compelling examples of behavioral repertoires that enhance the effectiveness of morphological defenses. When protective adult morphology is

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals
Ecology and EvolutionGloger's rule states that homeotherms are darker at lower latitudes; however, a number of 19th‐century naturalists also suggested that animals are more brightly coloured in the tropics than in temperate regions. Using phylogenetic comparative methods, we

Corn snakes, crypsis, and substrate complexity: Do cryptic snakes choose complex backgrounds?
, 2013 Crypsis (camouflage) is a concealment mechanism employed by many animals to avoid detection. If an organism chooses backgrounds within its habitat that increases concealment, then it could increase the effectiveness of crypsis and therefore increase its ...

You are what you eat: diet-induced chemical crypsis in a coral-feeding reef fish
, 2015 The vast majority of research into the mechanisms of camouflage has focused on forms that confound visual perception. However, many organisms primarily interact with their surroundings using chemosensory systems and may have evolved mechanisms to 'blend ...

Mimicking multiple models: polyphenetic masqueraders gain additional benefits from crypsis
, 2010 Many prey organisms avoid predation by mimicking inanimate objects: a phenomenon known as masquerade. It is expected that masquerade will show a frequency-dependent advantage such that masquerading species benefit more from their appearance when they are

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionA well-known insect phenomenon is colour polymorphism, from which the species hopes to gain some ecological advantage. Herbivores adapt to the colours of their environment to reduce their chances of becoming prey, while predators use camouflage colours ...
