It has been demonstrated that the background adaptation process is vision-dependent (it appears the animal needs to be able to see the environment to adapt to it), and that melanin translocation in melanophores is the major factor in colour change.
O proceso de adaptación ao fondo depende da visión (o animal necesita ver o aspecto do ambiente que o rodea para adaptarse a el) e a translocación da melanina nos melanóforos é o principal factor no cambio de cor.
