Effective Crypsis and its Maintenance by Immobility in Craugastor Frogs

, 2008
Prey that are cryptic when at rest should limit movement to avoid disrupting crypsis. We studied effectiveness of crypsis and degree of reliance on immobility versus escape by Craugastor frogs approached by a predator.

Role of body size and shape in animal camouflage

Ecology and Evolution
Animal camouflage serves a dual purpose in that it enhances both predation efficiency and anti‐predation strategies, such as background matching, disruptive coloration, countershading, and masquerade, for predators and prey, respectively.

Spatial distribution, territoriality and sound production by tropical cryptic butterflies (Hamadryas, Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): implications for the "industrial melanism" debate

Revista de Biología Tropical, 1998
Neotropical butterflies of the genus Hamadryas, noted by the emission of sound, spend much time perching on trees and are believed to be cryptically patterned and colored with respect to tree trunks and branches they use as perching sites, but the ...

Crypsis on the principles of disruptive coloration

, 2013
The crypsis gives the oportunity to an animal to become inconspicuous in its natural environment to avoid being detected by potential observer (Cott, 1940, Edmunds 1974 Merilaita 2003).

Apostasy and selection for crypsis in the marine snail Littoraria filosa

, 2008
The marine snail, Littoraria filosa, is polymorphic for shell colour, with yellow, brown and pink morphs that correspond in both appearance and frequency to the predominant background colours of its habitat.
