DESCRIPTION - With Illustrations by James Nardi 'A fascinating look at the critical role of insects in ecosystems and the myriad ways in which they avoid the constant threat of predation.' Carol Anelli, Washington State University All animals must eat. But who eats who, and why, or why not? 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. inventory #38182.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Insects outnumber and outweigh all other animals combined and offer the largest amount of potential animal food to hungry predators. This has led insects to evolve amazing techniques to either capture prey or avoid becoming prey themselves. From clever disguises to chemical lures, predatory insects employ ingenious means to catch food, while potential prey use strategies of mimicry, escape, and defense in order to evade capture. Entomologist and trade author Waldbauer explores an array of tactics and strategies that are not only fascinating, but important to the story of evolution. We learn about camouflage, how insects can change appearance to blend in with their environment or resemble inedible objects. We also read about toxic insects, and those that strive to mimic the warning colors or behavior of toxic insects in order to 'trick' potential predators. This entertaining subject is a perfect way to explore the coevolutionary forces that shape our world and allow ecosystems to function. Nardi, James (illustratore).…
