Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the natural coloration of plants and animals, and how it has influenced their evolution. The author argues that animals and plants develop color as a response to their environment, and that these patterns and colors follow specific laws. Two such laws are that color or pattern is most intense on the most exposed surface of an organism, and that patterns change at points where function alters. The book delves into how this coloration follows the structural features of animals and plants and explains how natural selection can modify or suppress certain patterns and colors to promote survival in a particular environment. The author concludes by showing that the development of eyesight led to the development of color in animals, and how the influence of color on survival becomes less important for more advanced species that can use tools and weapons.
