New Jurassic tettigarctid cicadas from China with a novel example of disruptive coloration [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 Tettigarctidae is the most primitive family of Cicadoidea, with only two relict species. Although they are relatively well known from Eurasia, Australia, Africa, and South America, their Mesozoic examples are typically preserved only as isolated ...

Animal Camouflage: Disentangling Disruptive Coloration from Background Matching [PDF]
, 2018 Camouflage is ubiquitous in the natural world and provides adaptive benefits to both predators and their prey. In this study I test concepts of animal camouflage using the experimental paradigm of humans foraging for real and artificial moth targets on a

Water column use by reef fishes of different color patterns [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2022 Color in animals responds to selective pressures and mediates the relationship between organism and environment. Reef fishes have the amplest variety of pigment cell types. This color patterns’ variety may function as camouflage and be related to spatial

Background matching and disruptive coloration as habitat-specific strategies for camouflage. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractCamouflage is a key defence across taxa and frequently critical to survival. A common strategy is background matching, resembling the colour and pattern of the environment. This approach, however, may be ineffective in complex habitats where matching one patch may lead to increased visibility in other patches. In contrast, disruptive coloration,

The Mechanisms that Drive Disruptive Innovation [PDF]
, 2012 Disruptive innovation as a theory lacks concrete definition and is often misinterpreted in the literature. Previous studies dealing with the phenomenon largely focus on the process of market disruption and the factors that drive the process.

Scientific Reports, 2021 The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an iconic mammal, but the function of its black-and-white coloration is mysterious. Using photographs of giant pandas taken in the wild and state-of-the-art image analysis, we confirm the counterintuitive ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Disruptive coloration is a common camouflage strategy that breaks body outlines and ostensibly blends organisms into complex backgrounds. However, contrasting false edges caused by an animal's structure can also break body outlines, although there is no ...

What's in a band? The function of the color and banding pattern of the Banded Swallowtail
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Butterflies have evolved a diversity of color patterns, but the ecological functions for most of these patterns are still poorly understood. The Banded Swallowtail butterfly, Papilio demolion demolion, is a mostly black butterfly with a greenish‐blue ...

Late disruption of central visual field disrupts peripheral perception of form and color
PLOS ONE, 2020 Evidence from neuroimaging and brain stimulation studies suggest that visual information about objects in the periphery is fed back to foveal retinotopic cortex in a separate representation that is essential for peripheral perception. The characteristics of this phenomenon have important theoretical implications for the role fovea-specific feedback ...
