Automated Workflows Using Quantitative Colour Pattern Analysis (QCPA): A Guide to Batch Processing and Downstream Data Analysis

C. P. van den Berg, N. D. Condon, C. Conradsen, T. E. White, K. L. Cheney

This paper introduces automated workflows for Quantitative Colour Pattern Analysis (QCPA) to streamline image processing and downstream data analysis, enabling efficient large-scale studies of colour patterns in organisms.

Chemical defences indicate distinct colour patterns with reduced variability in aposematic nudibranchs

C. P. van den Berg, M. Santon, J. A. Endler, L. Drummond, B. R. Dawson, C. Santiago, N. Weber, K. L. Cheney

The paper quantifies colour pattern diversity in aposematic nudibranchs and links it to the strength of their chemical defences, finding reduced variability in defended species.

Signal detectability and boldness are not the same: the function of defensive colouration in nudibranchs is distance-dependent

C. P. van den Berg, J. A. Endler, K. L. Cheney

The study examines distance-dependent effects of aposematic coloration in nudibranchs, finding that detectability and boldness vary with viewing distance, supporting distance-dependent signaling.

Highly defended nudibranchs 'escape' to visually diverse background habitats

C. P. van den Berg, M. Santon, J. A. Endler, K. L. Cheney

The paper tests the escape and radiate hypothesis by analyzing if chemically defended nudibranch species occupy visually distinct backgrounds, finding support for spatiochromatic differences but not increased background diversity.

Anemonefish have finer color discrimination in the ultraviolet

L. J. Mitchell, A. Phelan, F. Cortesi, J. N. Marshall, W.-S. Chung, D. C. Osorio, K. L. Cheney

This study assesses UV color discrimination in anemonefish using a novel LED display and finds that UV chromatic contrast improves color discrimination thresholds.

More than noise: Context-dependant luminance contrast discrimination in a coral reef fish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus)

C. van den Berg, M. Hollenkamp, L. J. Mitchell, E. J. Watson, N. F. Green, N. J. Marshall, K. L. Cheney

This study investigates context-dependent luminance contrast discrimination in triggerfish using achromatic stimuli and finds that thresholds vary with background contrast, challenging the Receptor Noise Limited model.
