我们提出了一种量化的方法,根据每个可能的观察者的颜色视觉来评估动物皮毛或其他物体的显着性。我们测量了许多灵长类动物皮毛和皮肤的反射光谱,以便客观地调查在现存灵长类动物中发现的毛皮着色的可能性。我们发现,许多鸭嘴兽和一些链状灵长类动物身上呈现的橙色,虽然对人类来说是显而易见的,但对所有雄性动物和许多雌性动物来说,在树叶中却是神秘的。关于这一发现,我们简要回顾了已知的捕食灵长类动物的鸟类的颜色视觉,并评估了橙色绒毛对这些捕食者的显着性。上午好。J.Primatol。59:67-91,2003。©2003 Wiley-Liss公司
We present a quantitative means of assessing the conspicuousness of animal coats or other objects in terms of the color vision of each possible observer. We measured reflectance spectra from the fur and skin of many primate species in order to provide an objective survey of the possibilities of pelage coloration found in extant primates. We show that the orange coloration displayed by many platyrrhine and some strepsirhine primates, while being conspicuous to humans, would be cryptic amongst foliage to all males and many females of their own species. In relation to this finding, we briefly review what is known of the color vision of birds that prey on primates, and assess how conspicuous the orange pelage would be to these predators. Am. J.
