Pigmentation plasticity enhances crypsis in larval newts: associated metabolic cost and background choice behaviour
In heterogeneous environments, the capacity for colour change can be a valuable adaptation enhancing crypsis against predators. Alternatively, organisms might achieve concealment by evolving preferences for backgrounds that match their visual traits, thus avoiding the costs of plasticity. Here we ex...
