Royal Society Open ScienceWe conducted a study on interpopulation variation of colour patterns in two congeneric chameleon species, which have an analogous life history. Both species are able to rapidly change colour pattern, and their context-dependent colour patterns often vary

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

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 ...
