Abstract
- The article discusses research which examined the possible mediation of the relationship between predation risk and crypsis by brain size. Topics explored include the cognitive abilities of well-camouflaged animals that help them evade predators, the use of reflectance measurements and visual modeling to assess the conspicuousness of anuran species from China, and observations relating to predation pressure, relative brain size, and hind leg muscle mass in the frogs studied.
