Relationships of Colorimetric Parameters of Digital Images of Animals' Color Under Different Ecological Situations

The paper aims to is the influence of environmental situations on the systemic parameters of the protective coloration of animals. In this regard, ideally, the diversity of disruptive protective coloration of animals should coincide in space and time with the diversity of the values of colorimetric parameters of Magalef's model of succession. In the case of disruptive protective coloration of an animal, the shortage of diversity can be compensated by the evenness of values of colorimetric parameters. For Australian camels, the population and area of which are increasing very quickly, it is shown that in this case the role of diversity of disruptive protective coloration is more expressed. For kangaroos, whose population and area are more stable, the role of the even-ness of coloration is more expressed. Based on the comparative analysis of these two cases, an approach to a remote determination of the state of stability of animal populations is proposed. The proposed approach is new due to the use of correlations of captured colorimetric parameters for deter-mining the role of the diversity and evenness of disruptive protective coloration of animals. According to the results of such analysis, the subsequent diagnosis of a stable or unstable population can be performed. In connection with the meaning of obtained results, it can be about aspects related to fundamental biology problems. At the same time, practical applications of results are also possible for the development of distance (aerospace) methods for registering the state of stability of animal populations.
