Adapting genetic algorithms for artificial evolution of visual patterns under selection from wild predators

2023-11-17

Abstract excerpt

Camouflage is a widespread and well-studied anti-predator strategy, yet identifying which patterns provide optimal protection in any given scenario remains challenging. Besides the virtually limitless combinations of colours and patterns available to prey, selection for camouflage strategies will depend on complex interactions between prey appearance, background properties and predator traits, across repeated enco...
