Disruptive Coloration and Background Pattern Matching [PDF]
Nature, 2005 Effective camouflage renders a target indistinguishable from irrelevant background objects. Two interrelated but logically distinct mechanisms for this are background pattern matching (crypsis) and disruptive coloration: in the former, the animal's colours are a random sample of the background; in the latter, bold contrasting colours on the animal's ...

Disruptive and Cryptic Coloration [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 Camouflage may be achieved in three ways: crypsis, disruptive coloration and masquerade ([Endler 1981][1]). Cryptic prey resemble random samples of the visual background ([Endler 1978][2], [1981][1], [1984][3]), minimizing their signal/noise ratio (S/N).

The Role of Background Matching and Disruptive Coloration in Impeding Detection and Recognition
Behavioral Ecology and SociobiologyCamouflage involves diverse strategies that aid animals in obscuring their presence from potential threats. These strategies inhibit detection (locating the animal) and, if detected, prevent recognition (determining the animal’s identity) of the bearer ...

Warning Coloration Can Be Disruptive: Aposematic Marginal Wing Patterning in the Wood Tiger Moth
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Warning (aposematic) and cryptic colorations appear to be mutually incompatible because the primary function of the former is to increase detectability, whereas the function of the latter is to decrease it.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Theory suggests that genetic polymorphisms in female mating preferences may cause disruptive selection on male traits, facilitating phenotypic differentiation despite gene flow, as in reinforcement or other models of speciation with gene flow.

Disruptive sexual selection for plumage coloration in a passerine bird
Nature, 2000The theory of sexual selection was developed to explain the evolution of highly exaggerated sexual ornaments. Now supported by vast empirical evidence, sexual selection is generally considered to favour individuals with the most extreme trait expression.

Disrupting and Dismantling the Dominant Vision of Youth of Color
English Journal, 2015In this article, ELA and urban teacher educators who have been long-time advocates for and users of young adult literature in their work with beginning English—teachers re-think the cultural constructs of “black and brown” adolescence that undergird the genre and guide their work.

Disruptive Selection on Plumage Coloration Across Genetically Determined Morphs [PDF]
Animal Behaviour, 2017 Sexual selection can drive the evolution of conspicuous visual signals that advertise individual quality to prospective mates. Reproductive strategy can influence the balance between selective pressures and whether sexually selected signals evolve.
