Spatial Heterogeneity, Predator Cognition, and the Evolution of Color Polymorphism in Virtual Prey

Cryptically colored prey species are often polymorphic, occurring in multiple distinctive pattern variants. Visual predators promote such phenotypic variation through apostatic selection, in which they attack more abundant prey types disproportionately often. In heterogeneous environments, disruptiv...
