Table 1.

Results from discriminability calculations using low light intensity and open habitat irradiance. Comparisons were made using the blue tit (Parus caeruleus) and chicken (Gallus gallus) cone sensitivities, and are based on mean values (n = 12). Spectra comparisons fell below the threshold of one just noticeable difference (JND). FV, forewing ventral; HV, hindwing ventral; L, light; D, dark.

JND comparisons FV-L pink versus model pink FV-D pink versus model pink HV yellow versus model yellow FV black versus model black HV black versus model black
P. caeruleus 0.597 0.374 0.736 0.336 0.440
G. gallus 0.556 0.424 0.858 0.315 0.533
