For the predators trying to outsmart their concealed prey it's about not going hungry. But for the birds and the eggs that they are protecting it's a matter of life and death. And for BBSRC-funded scientists at the University of Exeter, and the University of Cambridge, interested in how camouflage systems work, letting the public loose on research-oriented games are a way to test the fundamental bioscience behind vision and perception.
