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 considers how potential
prey avoid detection, how they make themselves unprofitable to
attack, how they communicate this status, and how other species
have exploited these signals. Using carefully selected examples of
camouflage, mimicry, and warning signals drawn from a wide range of
species and ecosystems, the authors summarise the latest research
into these fascinating adaptations, developing mathematical models
where appropriate and making recommendations for future study. This
second edition has been extensively rewritten, particularly in the
application of modern genetic research techniques which have
transformed our recent understanding of adaptations in evolutionary
genomics and phylogenetics. The book also employs a more integrated
and systematic approach, ensuring that each chapter has a broader
focus on the evolutionary and ecological consequences of
anti-predator adaptation. The field has grown and developed
considerably over the last decade with an explosion of new research
literature, making this new edition timely.
