Figure 1: Mean ± SE of changes in skin pigmentation of larval newts induced by environmental albedo.

From: Pigmentation plasticity enhances crypsis in larval newts: associated metabolic cost and background choice behaviour

Figure 1

From day 0 to week 5: induced changes under light (upper panel) and dark (bottom panel) microhabitat conditions. From week 5 to week 7: reverted changes after inverting microhabitat conditions. Open circles represent larvae in a predator-free environment; solid circles represent larvae exposed to predator cues.
