Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the

11、 most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金屬彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day. Those surprising results appear in the journal Scientific Reports.Shining iridescent color, which changes depending on the angle from whic

12、h its viewed, is favored by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies.“And in our research group we are of course interested in why this vivid metallic color is so widespread in nature.” Karin Kjernsmo of the University of Bristol adds that in some cases the showy splashes of ligh

13、t are a sexual strategy. “Here I would like to point out that in some species, particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄兩性), such as birds of paradise or some butterflies or fishes, the occurrence of iridescence is most likely driven by sexual selection. For example, in many of the

14、se cases it is the males that have these vivid iridescent colors and they use them in mate choice or they use them as a signal to attract mates.” But iridescence also shows up in situations where reproduction is not an issue. “So what we are studying now is whether natural selection imposed by preda

15、tion(捕食行為) could explain the occurrence of iridescence in prey animals.”The idea that eyecatching colors could be used as a coverup isnt a new one.“The father of camouflage theory, Abbott Thayer, really believed that iridescence should be categorized as a camouflage strategy. And he wrote in his fam

And this sounds like a completely unreasonable thing to say, because how can colors that are both brilliant and changeab

17、le contribute to animals concealment？”“In a similar way, we were asking whether iridescence, due to its changeability, could work as a form of camouflage by preventing shape recognition.” Kjernsmo and her colleagues trained bumblebees to associate a particular shapea circle or an ovalwith a sugar re

18、ward. And they found that the bees, when given a choice, would preferentially visit the shape they knew to be sweet. But when the shapes were iridescent, the bees had trouble telling them apart. “It seemed that the strikingly iridescent surfaces on our targets visually broke up the otherwise recogni

19、zable shape of the targets, which made them hard to distinguish.” As for making use of this method for hiding in plain sight, “Any practical applications is of course directly linked to any industry that has an interest in camouflage, that is how to conceal objects or make them more difficult to rec

20、ognize.” The researchers are currently conducting experiments with birds, which often prey on iridescent insects to see if it helps to have a birdseye view.1、According to the passage, iridescence is not made use of by animals to _.Alive a little longer by escaping their predator(捕食者)Bcatch the atten
