Using digital photography to study animal coloration (2007, methodology): “© 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2007, 90 , 211–237 appropriately designed sampling array, such as multiple transects or prespecified regions (Cuthill et al ., 1999; Endler & Mielke, 2005).”
The evolution and function of pattern diversity in snakes (2013, background): “One can model sets of colors (Endler and Mielke 2005) or color adjacency (Endler 2012), but whole patterns are a challenge (Allen and Higham 2013).”
Using digital cameras to investigate animal colouration: estimating sensor sensitivity functions (2011, methodology): “2 depicted in a tetrahedron representing blue tit colour space (Endler and Mielke 2005), in which each data point corresponds to a single pixel of the image (for simplicity, only 10,000 randomly selected pixels have been plotted).”
Taking the sensory approach: how individual differences in sensory perception can influence mate choice (2012, unknown): “…predict howchanges in the sensitivity of the visual system (i.e. peak sensitivity of visual pigments, absorbance of oil droplets, relative densities of photoreceptors) can affect colour perception (Vorobyev & Osorio 1998; Endler & Mielke 2005), typically at the species level (Lind & Kelber 2009).”
Perceptual Processes and the Maintenance of Polymorphism Through Frequency-dependent Predation (2005, methodology): “Recently, however, Endler and Mielke (2005) have devised a statistical method that can be used to measure levels of colour polymorphism (i.e. dissimilarity) across populations (Endler, pers. comm.).”
Spatiotemporal Dimensions of Visual Signals in Animal Communication (2007, background): “To sensory ecologists, they offer the challenge of understanding how multivariate signals are transmitted in heterogeneous environments (Endler & Mielke 2005, Fleishman et al. 2006).”
Why are fruits colorful? The relative importance of achromatic and chromatic contrasts for detection by birds (2009, background): “In recent years, eye models that account for the spectral sensitivities of animals (Vorobyev and Osorio 1998) are increasingly used to predict the optimal design of signals in evolutionary ecology (Endler and Mielke 2005).”
The role of chromatic and achromatic signals for fruit detection by birds (2006, background): “Diurnal birds use four retinal cone types for color vision and are classified into two distinct groups by the peak sensitivity of the short-wave cone (Endler and Mielke, 2005; Ödeen and Hảstad, 2003).”
