English to Spanish: Disruptive coloration in cuttlefish: a visual perception mechanism that regulates ontogenetic adjustment of skin patterning General field: Science Detailed field: Zoology
Source text - English Summary
Among the changeable camouflage patterns of
cuttlefish, disruptive patterning is shown in response to
certain features of light objects in the visual background.
However, whether animals show disruptive patterns is
dependent not only on object size but also on their body
size. Here, we tested whether cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)
are able to match their disruptive body patterning with
increasing size of background objects as they grow from
hatchling to adult size (0.7 to 19.6·cm mantle length; factor
of 28). Specifically, do cuttlefish have a single ‘visual
sampling rule’ that scales accurately during ontogeny?
For each of seven size classes of cuttlefish, we created
black and white checkerboards whose check sizes
corresponded to 4, 12, 40, 120, 400 and 1200% of the area
of the cuttlefish’s White square, which is a
neurophysiologically controlled component of the skin.
Translation - Spanish Sumario
Entre los diseños de camuflaje variables de la sepia, el diseño disruptivo se presenta en respuesta a ciertas características de objetos de luz en el fondo visual. Sin embargo, si los animales muestran diseños disruptivos no sólo depende del tamaño del objeto, sino también en el tamaño de su cuerpo. Ahora bien, evaluamos si las sepias (Sepia officinalis) son capaces de igualar su diseño corporal disruptivo con el crecimiento del tamaño de los objetos del fondo mientras crecen de crías a tamaño adulto (longuitud del manto, 0,7 a 19,6 cms; factor de 28). Específicamente, ¿la sepia tiene sólo una “regla de muestreo visual” que aumenta precisamente durante la ontogenia?
Para cada una de las siete variedades de tamaño de sepia creamos tablero de ajedrez en blanco y negro, cuadros cuyos tamaños correspondían al 4, 12, 40,120, 400 y 1200 % del área del “cuadro blanco” de la sepia, que es un componente de la piel controlado neurofisiológicamente.

Bio
English-Spanish translator. Born in Santiago, Chile, I am a Latin
American native speaker. I have 10 years of experience as translator, 4
of them working as in-house translator for translation agencies. My last
dependent job was working for SDL, a mayor translation and localization
company, where my tasks included translation, review, account
management, among others. I worked for them more than 3 years, being one
of the most experienced professionals at the office and second
seniority.
Now I have been working exclusively and succesfully as
freelance translator since September 2014 and I am looking forward to
new challenges. I am willing to move abroad if needed.
I
specialize in wide range of subjects, including foreign trade, medicine,
marketing, technology and HR. I work well as an independent worker and,
at the same time I am very experienced leading and being part of a
team.
I would love to hear from you!
