Generalist camouflage can be more successful than microhabitat specialisation in natural environments
BACKGROUND: Crypsis by background-matching is a critical form of anti-predator defence for animals exposed to visual predators, but achieving effective camouflage in patchy and variable natural environments is not straightforward. To cope with heterogeneous backgrounds, animals could either speciali...
