Defensive strategies are unique features of animals with aid of which they guard themselves against predators or any other potential risks. Birds among the animal kingdom display the …
How easy a plant is to find, or its apparency, is thought to shape plant defenses. Recent meta‐analyses suggest that the types of plant defenses employed are not well‐predicted by …
For many birds, the fight for survival begins at the egg stage: avoiding predation is paramount. At a broad phylogenetic level, selection by predators for egg camouflage …
