Crypsis in sandhoppers [PDF]

open access: yesBollettino 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 and masquerade

Journal of Biological Education, 1985
A ‘signaller’ (for example, a prey) can avoid detection by a ‘receiver’ (for example, a predator) if its visual signals are difficult to separate from the background. There are two ways by which signallers match the coloration of their background— ‘crypsis’ and ‘masquerade’.
