He explores both classic and recent research of naturalists and biologists, showing how scientists find ways of testing the impact of particular behaviors and colorings on the animals it is meant to fool. Drawing on a wide range of examples, Stevens considers what deception tells us about the process of evolution and adaptation.--AMAZON.Camouflage (Biology)Camouflage (Biology)591.57Stevens Martin1982-1539908MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797710803321Cheats and deceits3791103UNINA
