Selection for social signalling drives the evolution of chameleon colour change.

PLoS Biology, 2008
Rapid colour change is a remarkable natural phenomenon that has evolved in several vertebrate and invertebrate lineages. The two principal explanations for the evolution of this adaptive strategy are (1) natural selection for crypsis (camouflage) against

Gloger's Rule or Historical Conjecture? Tests in Mammals

Ecology and Evolution
Gloger'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

Crypsis in early benthic phases of Brachyuran Decapod Crustaceans in central Chile Cripsis en fases bentónicas tempranas de crustáceos decápodos braquiuros en Chile central

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2003
Although common and in some cases of commercial value, little is known about the mechanisms and processes that affect the distribution and abundance of many species of decapod crustaceans, particularly in Chile.

Seasonal plasticity in anti‐predatory strategies: Matching of color and color preference for effective crypsis

Evolution Letters, 2019
Effective anti‐predatory strategies typically require matching appearance and behavior in prey, and there are many compelling examples of behavioral repertoires that enhance the effectiveness of morphological defenses. When protective adult morphology is

Colour polymorphism of cotton bollworm larvae as a function of the type of host plant providing its development

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
A 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 ...

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 ...
