Animal Coloration (Classic Reprint): An Account of the Principal Facts and Theories Relating to the Colours and Markings of Animals - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explainer of how animals blend in, signal, and survive through color. This book examines how colors and markings help animals hide, attract, or warn, using findings from biology, physiology, and natural history.
The discussion combines theory with examples, from how light and environment influence skin and feather colors to how vision and perception shape protective coloration. It also covers cases of rapid color change in certain species and the limits of what natural selection can explain.
- Clear explanations of protective coloration and why some species resemble their surroundings
- Discussion of how light, sight, and nervous or chemical processes influence color changes
- Examples across many animal groups, including insects, reptiles, fish, and mammals
- Thoughtful look at how theories of evolution try to account for color patterns
Ideal for readers curious about how color helps animals survive, and for anyone exploring the science behind animal appearances.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of animal coloration, exploring the vibrant hues and intricate patterns that adorn the natural world. The author delves into the science behind these colors, examining the pigments responsible for their creation and the role they play in the lives of animals. The book goes beyond simply describing the appearance of animals, exploring the theories surrounding why these colors exist. Drawing inspiration from Darwin's theory of natural selection, the author investigates how coloration might serve as a form of protection, allowing animals to blend into their surroundings or advertise their inedibility to potential predators. He also examines the phenomenon of mimicry, where harmless creatures mimic the appearance of dangerous ones, gaining protection through deception. The author further explores the role of coloration in attracting mates, a concept known as sexual selection. The book provides a rich and insightful exploration of animal coloration, offering a glimpse into the complex interplay of biology, environment, and evolution. Its detailed analysis of the various theories surrounding coloration helps readers to understand the intricate ways in which these patterns serve a vital purpose in the lives of animals.
