[图书][B] Avoiding attack: the evolutionary ecology of crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry
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 …

Coral snakes predict the evolution of mimicry across New World snakes
Batesian mimicry, in which harmless species (mimics) deter predators by deceitfully imitating
the warning signals of noxious species (models), generates striking cases of phenotypic …
