Spatial and temporal variation in prey color patterns for background matching across a continuous heterogeneous environment

Abstract In heterogeneous habitats, camouflage via background matching can be challenging because visual characteristics can vary dramatically across small spatial scales. Additionally, temporal variation in signaling functions of coloration can affect crypsis, especially when animals use coloration...
