“感觉驱力”的概念表明，动物的感觉系统，已经进化到允许动物有效地发挥作用（例如，捕获猎物，避免捕食者）在它们的环境中，作为动物信号进化的方向选择力。在这篇文章中，这一想法是探讨通过检查的视觉系统和视觉显示的anoline蜥蜴。首先，视觉系统的设计及其对环境中运动的反应进行了探讨。还考虑了背景植被运动的影响，这是视觉“噪音”的来源。预测的物理特性的运动之一，希望在显示器中找到，假设它们被设计为有效地刺激视觉系统。显示形式（时间模式、振幅、加速度、速度）取决于视觉系统的反应模式、显示的具体背景以及背景植被运动的习惯性影响。在其他脊椎动物的显示运动的性质也进行了探讨。设计用于吸引注意力的运动模式（例如，报警信号）表现出在Anolis显示器中发现的一些相同特性。隐运动模式，这有一个低的概率引起注意的anoles，被发现在跟踪行为的一个专门的Anolis捕食者，藤蛇Oxybelis aeneus。
The concept of "sensory drive" suggests that animal sensory systems, which have evolved to allow animals to function effectively (e.g., capture prey, avoid predators) in their environments, act as a directional selective force in the evolution of animal signals. In this article this idea is explored by examining the visual system and the visual displays of anoline lizards. First, the design of the visual system and its response to movements in the environment are explored. The effect of the movement of background vegetation, which acts as a source of visual "noise," is also considered. Predictions are made about the physical properties of motion one expects to find in the displays, assuming that they are designed to effectively stimulate the visual system. Display form (temporal pattern, amplitude, acceleration, velocity) depends on the response patterns of the visual system, the specific context in which a display is given, and the habituating effects of background vegetation motion. The nature of movements in the displays of other vertebrates is also explored. Motion patterns designed to draw attention (e.g., alarm signals) exhibit some of the same properties found in Anolis displays. Cryptic motion patterns, which have a low probability of eliciting the attention of anoles, are found in the stalking behavior of a specialized Anolis predator, the vine snake Oxybelis aeneus.
