Color can attract mates, intimidate enemies, and distract predators. But it can also conceal animals from detection. It is an adaptation to the visual features of the environment but also to the perceptual and cognitive capabilities of other organisms. Judy Diamond and Alan Bond reveal factors at work in the evolution of concealing coloration.

Excerpt from Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom: An Exposition of the Laws of Disguise Through Color and Pattern; Being a Summary of Abbott H. Thayer's Discoveries For the most part, we do not draw hypothetical conclusions from facts; but we reveal certain beautiful facts hitherto unknown; we disclose and ex plain the remarkable power of several naturally applied laws of optical illu sion - as these applications stand, by whatever causes produced, and as all may see them. That is, we show and analyze the concealing-power of the colors of animals as they exist to - day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
