Animal colour patterns are a model system for understanding evolution because they are unusually accessible for study and experimental manipulation. This is possible because their functions are readily identifiable. In this final paper of the symposium we provide a diagram of the processes affecting colour patterns and use this to summarize their functions and put the other papers in a broad context. This allows us to identify significant 'holes' in the field that only become obvious when we see the processes affecting colour patterns, and their interactions, as a whole. We make suggestions about new directions of research that will enhance our understanding of both the evolution of colour patterns and visual signalling but also illuminate how the evolution of multiple interacting traits works.This article is part of the themed issue 'Animal coloration: production, perception, function and application'.
动物的颜色模式是理解进化的一个模型系统，因为它们特别便于进行研究和实验操作。这之所以成为可能，是因为它们的功能很容易识别。在本次研讨会的最后一篇论文中，我们提供了一个影响颜色模式的过程示意图，并以此总结其功能，将其他论文置于一个更广泛的背景下。这使我们能够识别该领域中显著的“空白”，而这些空白只有在我们将影响颜色模式的过程及其相互作用视为一个整体时才会变得明显。我们就新的研究方向提出建议，这些研究方向不仅将增进我们对颜色模式进化和视觉信号传递的理解，还将阐明多个相互作用性状的进化是如何进行的。本文是主题为“动物的色彩：产生、感知、功能及应用”的特刊的一部分。
