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.--$cAMAZON. 606 $aCamouflage (Biology) 615 0$aCamouflage (Biology) 676 $a591.57 700 $aStevens$b Martin$f1982-$01678934 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822035603321 996 $aCheats and deceits$94046878 997 $aUNINA
