""Animal Camouflage"" presents a fascinating exploration of how creatures across the animal kingdom have evolved sophisticated concealment strategies for survival. This comprehensive work bridges multiple scientific disciplines, examining camouflage from molecular mechanisms to complex behavioral adaptations, while focusing on the intricate relationship between natural selection, sensory biology, and behavioral ecology. The book masterfully progresses through three main sections, beginning with the fundamental physics of visual perception and how different species process visual information. It then delves into physical camouflage mechanisms, such as pigmentation and countershading, before e...
Camouflage is when an animal's coloring makes it hard for other organisms to tell where they are, what they are, or where they're moving. This helps keep the animals safe from predators and helps them sneak up on their prey. Your readers will learn about the different types of camouflage and encounter examples of each. A graphic organizer displays information in a way that allows readers to quickly and easily draw connections while bright photographs depict the various types of camouflage in the wild.
Introduction: The rugged outline of a mountain peak looks like a human face; the markings on a moth show a skull and crossbones. Mere coincidences we say, and dismiss the matter as another freak of nature. But when we come across an animal that looks like a leaf or a twig, we begin to wonder. This likeness must be more than chance--it must play an important part in the animal's survival. This brings us straight to the crux of our problem: the function of outward appearances. We have all seen insects that are the color of bark and brooding pheasant hens whose feathers seem like the fleeting shadows of their nesting ground. We may have chanced upon a moth whose only protection is the coloring ...
Two groups of animals, bats and odontocetes (toothed whales), have independently developed the ability to orient and detect prey by biosonar (echolocation). This active mechanism of orientation allows these animals to operate under low light conditions. Biosonar is a conceptual overview of what is known about biosonar in bats and odontocetes. Chapters are written by bat and odontocetes experts, resulting in collaborations that not only examine data on both animals, but also compare and contrast mechanisms. This book provides a unique insight that will help improve our understanding of biosonar in both animal groups.
