Our overall goal is to understand the perceptual and mechanistic principles that underlay camouflage framed in the context of the animals environment. In particular, we hope to characterize and understand the perceptual abilities of several species of benthic and pelagic cephalopods, the aspects of their optical environment that affect their camouflage behavior, the characterization of that behavior, and the molecular mechanisms inside the skin by which those responses are accomplished.
