AbstractDisruptive patterning is patterning which makes an entity difficult to detect and/or identify, but which is independent of the specific local environment, and thus distinct from the background matching mechanism discussed in the previous chapter.

Can Sympatric Speciation by Disruptive Sexual Selection Explain Rapid Evolution of Cichlid Diversity in Lake Victoria? [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 1999 Rapid speciation can occur on ecological time scales and interfere with ecological processes, resulting in species distribution patterns that are difficult to reconcile with ecological theory.

Abstract The Mesozoic froghopper family Sinoalidae was reported from the uppermost Middle–lowermost Upper Jurassic Daohugou Biota and coeval strata of northeastern China, and mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber of northern Myanmar. Herein, a remarkably new sinoalid froghopper, Ornatiala amoena Chen, Wang and Zhang, gen. et sp.

Predicting the Colouration Between Binaural Signals [PDF]
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2022 Although the difference between the fast Fourier transforms of two audio signals is often used as a basic measure of predicting perceived colouration, these signal measures do not provide information on how relevant the results are from a perceptual ...

Irradiated Queensland fruit flies (Bactrocera tryoni) used in Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programmes are marked with fluorescent dyes to distinguish them from wild flies when recaptured in monitoring traps. However, coating sterile pupae with powdered dyes can reduce emergence rates and fly quality and can sometimes produce insufficiently certain ...

Genetics of Colouration in Birds
Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2013 Establishing the links between phenotype and genotype is of great importance for resolving key questions about the evolution, maintenance and adaptive function of phenotypic variation.

Disruption or Aposematism? Significance of Dorsal Zigzag Pattern of European Vipers
Evolutionary Ecology, 2011 European vipers (genus Vipera) are venomous and often have a distinctive dorsal zigzag pattern. The zigzag pattern of vipers has been suggested to be an example of disruptive colouration which reduces the detectability of a snake. However, recent studies

MesozoicAnimals have evolved a wide range of traits to avoid predation, and some of these defensive strategies can be traced in the fossil record. Recently, the first case of disruptive colouration was documented in a lacewing larva from Cretaceous Kachin amber, Myanmar.

Palaeoentomology
Animals have evolved various strategies to avoid being eaten (e.g., Howland, 1974; Peterson et al., 2021). Such strategies are especially important in groups of animals that represent a large biomass and are therefore attractive aims for predators (Lindstedt et al., 2019).

Two general models for the transspecific evolution of butterfly colour patterns are advanced: directional selection acting equally on both sexes, and disruptive selection involving periods of polymorphism. To consider possible outcomes of me latter process, a morphism notation based on an integrated classification for polymorphism and sexual dimorphism
