Because insects outnumber and collectively outweigh all other animals combined, they comprise the largest amount of animal food available for potential consumption. How do they avoid being eaten? From masterful disguises to physical and chemical lures and traps, predatory insects have devised ingenious and bizarre methods of finding food. Equally ingenious are the means of hiding, mimicry, escape, and defense waged by prospective prey in order to stay alive. This absorbing book demonstrates that the relationship between the eaten and the eater is a central-perhaps the central-aspect of what goes on in the community of organisms. By explaining the many ways in which insects avoid becoming a meal for a predator, and the ways in which predators evade their defensive strategies, Gilbert Waldbauer conveys an essential understanding of the unrelenting coevolutionary forces at work in the world around us. 606 $aInsects$xDefenses 606 $aInsects$xPredators of 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInsects$xDefenses. 615 0$aInsects$xPredators of. 676 $a595.7 700 $aWaldbauer$b Gilbert$0908444 701 $aNardi$b James$01056771 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461855203321 996 $aHow not to be eaten$92491382 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01521nam 2200505 450 001 9910796077603321 005 20230921200959.0 010 $a1-119-34117-5 010 $a1-118-96449-7 035 $a(CKB)24989728500041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4729306 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7104290 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4729306 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11291065 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL968741 035 $a(OCoLC)961454887 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924989728500041 100 $a20161114h20172017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aFood regulation $elaw, science, policy, and practice /$fNeal D.
