Animal camouflage has long been used to illustrate the power of natural selection, and
provides an excellent testbed for investigating the trade‐offs affecting the adaptive value of …

Mammalian colors and color patterns are some of the most diverse and conspicuous traits
found in nature and have been widely studied from genetic/developmental and evolutionary …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Physical Biology of the Cell is a textbook for a first course in physical biology or biophysics
for undergraduate or graduate students. It maps the huge and complex landscape of cell …

The strategies underlying different forms of protective coloration are well understood but little
attention has been paid to the ecological, life‐history and behavioural circumstances under …

Camouflage–adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition–is a key example of
evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal …

Species in the suborder Serpentes present a powerful model for understanding processes
involved in visual signal design. Although vision is generally poor in snakes, they are often …

A critical function of animal coloration is avoiding attack, either by warning predators or
reducing detectability. Evolution of these divergent strategies may depend on prey …

This book about various types of visual defense (coloration, morphology, movement) of
plants against herbivores is not just a list of facts and hypotheses, with a reference source …

T he adaptability of biological organisms to the environment is reflected in many aspects,
especially in their camouflage of appearance. Inspired by biological camouflage strategies …
