What is Camouflage and Mimicry (Phoenix Series) about?

Many Organisms, To Avoid Being Noticed, Combine Color And Shape To Create Elaborate And Highly Effective Disguises. Some Have Evolved Uncanny Likenesses To Such Elements Of Their Environment As Leaves And Rocks. Others Use Color And Shape In More Spectacular Displays Simply To Frighten A Predator Or To Warn That They Are Poisonous. In Turn, And To Complicate Matters For Their Enemies, Some Edible Animals Have Evolved A Striking Likeness To Poisonous Animals That Use Color As A Warning. Though Such Camouflage And Mimicry Is Most Widely And Brilliantly Evident Among The Insects Where Sometimes Only The Experienced Naturalist Can See Through The Deception It Has Also Evolved In Plants And Several Groups Of Vertebrates, Including Birds, Snakes, And Salamanders. Camouflage And Mimicry Describes The Remarkably Varied Attempts Of Species To Deceive Their Predators And Prey. It Illustrates A Group Of Strategies Which Help To Increase An Individual's Chances Of Survival. Annotation Published: January 2014. Denis Owen. Originally Published: London : Rainbird, 1980.
