Crypsis and aposematism graph (IMAGE)
Caption
Predator selection for phenotypes is expected to work differently on prey that use crypsis (camouflage) or aposematism (warning signals). This study measured the variety of patterns and colours for 82 species of moths by leveraging digital image collections. There was greater variety in the elements of wing markings among cryptic species than aposematic species, but the variety of colour and contrast was similar between the two groups.
