Imperfect transparency and camouflage in glass frogs. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Camouflage patterns prevent detection and/or recognition by matching the background, disrupting edges, or mimicking particular background features. In variable habitats, however, a single pattern cannot match all available sites all of the time, and efficacy may therefore be reduced.
