Evolution of crypsis in feather lice

2012
Crypsis is the color resemblance of an animal to its background such that predators have difficulty in distinguishing it. Although a great deal is known about crypsis in free-ranging insects, crypsis in ectoparasites is still poorly understood. Among ectoparasites, feather lice provide a unique chance to test whether ectoparasites are cryptically ...

6. Mimicry, crypsis, and blatant advertising

2022
‘Mimicry, crypsis, and blatant advertising’ discusses insects as food for many animals, including other insects. Their main routes to avoiding being eaten are to hide, by camouflaging themselves so that they merge into the background or pretending to be something dangerous or poisonous, or to run or fly away.

Frequency-dependent predation, crypsis and aposematic coloration

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1988
Abstract Frequency-dependent predation may maintain or prevent colour pattern polymorphisms in prey, and can be caused by a variety of biological phenomena, including perceptual processes (search images), optimal foraging and learning.

Crypsis and Behaviour in Sandhoppers: Antipredator Effectiveness in the Water

Ethology, 1997
AbstractPredation experiments in tanks with the two‐banded bream fish Diplodus vulgaris and the sandhopper Talitrus saltator demonstrated that: 1. some specific behaviours; and 2. crypsis of the back have an antipredator function. They reduced by one‐half the predatory attacks in the water, under artificial conditions.
