Unveiling key links between behaviour and appearance in the evolution of camouflage

2026-05-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Behaviour is a key yet often overlooked component of animal camouflage and how it evolves alongside colour and morphology remains poorly understood. The repeated evolution of stick-like postures in spiders offers a useful framework for investigating the importance of behaviour for concealment, since matching the environment should rely on specific body forms and postures, not just colouration. W...
