Color can attract mates, intimidate enemies, and distract predators. But it can also conceal animals from detection. It is an adaptation to the visual features of the environment but also to the perceptual and cognitive capabilities of other organisms. Judy Diamond and Alan Bond reveal factors at work in the evolution of concealing coloration.

Excerpt from Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom: An Exposition of the Laws of Disguise, Through Color and Pattern; Being a Summary of Abbott H. Thayer's Discoveries For the most part, we do not draw hypothetical conclusions from facts; but we reveal certain beautiful facts hitherto unknown; we disclose and ex plain the remarkable power of several naturally applied laws of optical illu sion - as these applications stand, by whatever causes produced, and as all may see them. That is, we show and analyze the concealing-power of the colors of animals as they exist to - day. The illustrations are of particular importance, inasmuch as they include what we believe to be the first scientific paintings ever published of animals lighted as they actually are in Nature. This will be explained in detail later on. The colored pictures have been painted either from mounted specimens, as in the cases of the Grouse, the Wood Duck, and the Peacocks, or from live captives, as in the cases of the Snake and all the Caterpillars. The picture of the Grouse is a faithful copy of a specimen in a house-lighting arti ficially arranged to correspond to that which the live bird in the forest would normally have; while the background was painted from photographs and outdoor color sketches. The Snake is the joint production of A. H. Thayer, Rockwell Kent, and G. H. Thayer. Three of the caterpillar pictures are contributed by Louis A. Fuertes. The Bird of Paradise sketch is largely the work of Mrs. A. H. Thayer; likewise most of the background in the rab bit picture, the diagrams oi 'ruptive' coloration, and two or three black-and white diagrammatic drawings; besides a good deal of contributive work here and there on other paintings; and an immense amount of miscellaneous labor, invaluable advice and criticism, at almost every point.

Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... among mammals. To recapitulate, the exceptions occur, in the first place, among beasts that are habitually or very frequently hidden away from the light, either underground, in caves or hollow trees, in thick vegetation, or in the cloak of night. In the second place, they occur among beasts, mostly nonpredaceous, which are almost or quite immune from danger at the hands of their wild fellow-creatures, by virtue either of their great size and strength, or of a potent fixed defensive armament. In the third and last place, a few defenseless arboreal mammals are equipped for mimicry rather than obliteration. See Chapter XXII, p. 149. It is, then, among unarmed, daylight-inhabiting mammals, and among the purely rapacious mammals, both of the plains and of the forest, that obliterative coloration, based on full and simple obliterative shading, reaches its highest and most uniform development. Many of the terrestrial beasts, particularly those of the open country, are equipped with full counter shading and 'ground'-color alone, almost or quite without markings. Such are lions, wolves, jackals, kangaroos, hares and rabbits; marmots, some gophers, and several smaller rodents and marsupials; as well as many of the big ungulates or ruminants, such as wild asses, some wild bovines, and many deer and antelopes. It has long been known that the animals of the desert are extremely alike in coloration--insects, reptiles, birds and mammals all sharing the same sandy brown. But coordinate with this fact is one hitherto ignored, namely, that the colors of these desert animals do as universally and unvaryingly constitute a perfect obliterative gradation of shades, from dark above to light below. As there is great monotony and uniformity in the animals'...
