Colour polymorphic lures exploit innate preferences for spectral versus luminance cues in dipteran prey

Colour polymorphic lures exploit innate preferences for spectral versus luminance cues in dipteran prey

Abstract Background Theory predicts that colour polymorphism may be favored by variation in the visual context under which signals are perceived. The context encompasses all environmental determinants of light availability and propagation, but also the dynamics of perception in receivers. Color visi...
