Testing background matching and disruptive colouration in a sexually dichromatic grasshopper: a computer detection experiment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 4, Page 258-267, April 2023., 2023
Cryptic colouration is an adaptative mechanism against predation. In a computer experiment, we analysed the cryptic effectiveness of male and female colour patterns of Sphenarium zapotecum (Orthoptera: Pyrogomorphidae) grasshoppers. Males were most disruptive and females had higher background matching.
