Crypsis in sandhoppers [PDF]

Bollettino Di Zoologia, 1992
Abstract To estimate the matching between the backs of adult Talitrus saltator and the sand from their home beaches, reflectance, and patch shape and size were measured. Results show that in general there is a good matching between sandhopper back patterns and the local sand. Captivity caused a significant difference in the degree of similarity between

Crypsis Decreases with Elevation in a Lizard [PDF]

Diversity, 2019
Predation usually selects for visual crypsis, the colour matching between an animal and its background. Geographic co-variation between animal and background colourations is well known, but how crypsis varies along elevational gradients remains unknown.

Orientation to the sun by animals and its interaction with crypsis [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2015
Summary Orientation with respect to the sun has been observed in a wide range of species and has generally been interpreted in terms of thermoregulation and/or ultraviolet (UV) protection. For countershaded animals, orientation with respect to the sun may also result from the pressure to exploit the gradient of coloration optimally to enhance crypsis.
