Edge-Enhanced Disruptive Camouflage Impairs Shape Discrimination [PDF]
i-Perception, 2019 Disruptive colouration (DC) is a form of camouflage comprised of areas of pigmentation across a target’s surface that form false edges, which are said to impede detection by disguising the outline of the target.

Disruptive coloration and binocular disparity: breaking camouflage [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Many species employ camouflage to disguise their true shape and avoid detection or recognition. Disruptive coloration is a form of camouflage in which high-contrast patterns obscure internal features or break up an animal's outline. In particular, edge enhancement creates illusory, or ‘fake’ depth edges within the animal's body.

Neoptile feathers contribute to outline concealment of precocial chicks
Scientific Reports, 2021 Camouflage is a widespread strategy to increase survival. The cryptic plumage colouration of precocial chicks improves camouflage often through disruptive colouration.

Differences in Colour Pattern, Behaviour and Gene Expression in the Brain Suggest Divergent Camouflage Strategies in Sympatric Reef Fish Species. [PDF]
Mol EcolCamouflage is a critical survival strategy that helps to evade predation and increase hunting success. Background matching and disruptive colouration are different camouflage strategies that are subject to different selective pressures and can drive ...

Fitness and fur colouration: Testing the camouflage and thermoregulation hypotheses in an Arctic mammal [PDF]
, 2021 1. Selection for crypsis has been recognized as an important ecological driver of animal colouration, whereas the relative importance of thermoregulation is more contentious with mixed empirical support.

A System of Joyful Colour and its Disruptions: Architectural Colour in the German Democratic Republic [PDF]
Architectural Theory Review, 2014 This essay examines the debates around colour in East German architecture from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. It traces the gradual relinquishing of the attempt to determine principles for the colouring of socialist architecture based on an idealised conception of socialist society as inducing “joy in life” (Lebensfreude).

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2023 Abstract Potato is an important part of the traditional Norwegian diet, and the crop faces several challenges with respect to pests and diseases, as well as the increasingly challenging changes in climate. Genome editing may provide tools to improve the resilience of Norwegian potato cultivars to new climate challenges.
