Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of
animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire …

Animal camouflage has long been used to illustrate the power of natural selection, and
provides an excellent testbed for investigating the trade‐offs affecting the adaptive value of …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

78 course ought to have been followed: the one would have been right and the other wrong;

Summary 1 The role of phenotypic plasticity in evolution has historically been a contentious
issue because of debate over whether plasticity shields genotypes from selection or …

There is a bewildering diversity of signals, sensory systems, and signaling behavior. A
consideration of how these traits affect each other's evolution explains some of this diversity …

Forests exhibit much variation in light environments, and this can affect communication
among animals, communication between animals and plants, photosynthesis, and plant …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

For camouflage to succeed, an individual has to pass undetected, unrecognized or
untargeted, and hence it is the processing of visual information that needs to be deceived …
