Background matching, disruptive coloration, and differential use of microhabitats in two neotropical grasshoppers with sexual dichromatism
Abstract Cryptic coloration is an adaptative defensive mechanism against predators. Color patterns can become cryptic through background coloration‐matching and disruptive coloration. Disruptive coloration may evolve in visually heterogeneous microhabitats, whereas background matching could be favor...
