Animal Visual Systems and the Evolution of Color Patterns: Sensory Processing Illuminates Signal Evolution

Endler et al.’s 2005 Animal Visual Systems and the Evolution of Color Patterns: Sensory Processing Illuminates Signal Evolution, published in Evolution, is one of the program’s working technical references. Cited in Book VII (Categorical Metaphysics), Part 4, Chapter Pre-Symbolic Resonance, where the program draws on it in the context of “Comparative.
