3D Camouflage in an Ornithischian Dinosaur
Countershading was one of the first proposed mechanisms of camouflage [1, 2]. A dark dorsum and light ventrum counteract the gradient created by illumination from above, obliterating cues to 3D shape [3, 4, 5, 6]. Because the optimal countershading varies strongly with light environment [7, 8, 9], p...
