Hide with me. . .
When animals play hide and seek, they do it with style and tact.
Whether it's a subtle integration into the background, pretending to be something else, or pretending to be completely another species, they're all masters of their own habitat.
After all, they have received millions of years of help in nature's own selective evolution lab.
In their world, the superior predator is dominant and the food source is fiercely competitive, which is a simple hidden problem --or die!
In millions of years of survival games, winners are the ones who cleverly mix, imitate and disguise themselves against the invader's discoveries.
The amazing variety of animals that have become masters of disguise have made a wonderful trip for you guys who are just as fascinated by these biological curiosity as I am.
So here, dear reader, for your pleasure, the science of imitation and disguise (
As a reward-Aposematism).
In evolutionary biology, the survival of species depends not only on the survival of the fittest, but also on the ability to effectively hide.
Species have evolved this art of confusion through a variety of devices.
These are broadly classified as camouflage, imitation, and unsubjectivity.
Camouflage is the use of physical shapes, structures, colors, or lighting that make it difficult for animals to see (hiding)
Or it's hard to find (disguising).
The similarity of a species to another species in appearance, behavior, smell, sound, or position is called imitation.
Aposemism may be the opposite of these two kinds of behavior.
Here the animal is proud to broadcast and promote its presence, but only by using high color, smell, movement or other features as a counter
Predator adaptation
Here, predators will be warned against the potential danger of trying to eat this organism because of high toxicity or danger.
When we see the leaves
Insects that eat green and barkMottled feedergrey;
The white pig of the Mountain in winter, the red one --
The color of Shi Nan and the black pine chicken
We must believe that these colors serve these birds and insects and protect them from danger. . .
So I don't see any reason to doubt that natural selection may be most effective in providing the right color for each grouse, and keep the color true and constant after getting it.
The earliest mention of disguise was in ancient Greece, where the color variation of animals was mentioned in ya' S animal history.
His view on the issue is how animals use color change as a way to hide and signal transmission.
Charles Darwin drew on his observations during his discovery journey and covered the subject of camouflage in his species origin.
British biologist Edward Bagnal Coulton has extensively studied camouflage and has proposed categories such as "special protective analogs" where animals are hidden by something similar to another object or color, quietly approaching its prey
We can also divide the disguise into: "password "-
Hide by using colors, patterns, and shadows, the animals are hidden by something similar to another object, and the colors and shadows of the animals can be "hidden" like polar bears or snow rabbits, locusts, owls, etc.
In the case of jellyfish, they use transparency to hide themselves in the water.
Colors and patterns can also be "disruptive" as it is difficult to identify an animal when confusing predators like zebra herds.
The shadow patterns of fish, leopard spots, and pandas are all a destructive color imitation. The evolution of one species is similar to that of another to obtain a protective, aggressive, or sexual advantage,
The look, sound, smell, feel, or position can all be similar.
Imitation is a set of organisms that form these similarities with another set of organisms, which come from models of perceptual features.
Camouflage overlaps the presence of Mimesis, in which the organism resembles something inanimate such as a leaf or branch.
Imitation often conveys survival advantages, as organisms typically mimic species that are more aggressive or toxic to withstand potential predators fooled by imitation and common features.
There are many fascinating examples of imitation.
Under the flag of defense imitation, we have several harmless species, such as consul Fabius and Elisia Younis, imitating the unpleasant hailucius butterfly, warning
The phenomenon was observed by British naturalist Henry Walter Bates and named after him as a Batesian imitation.
It is strange that some species are equally harmful, but they imitate each other's attributes for a common protective advantage --
Equally bad tasting, the governor and monarch butterfly share the pattern and color.
This is the first time that German naturalist Fritz m. Miller has described it as a Mueller-like imitation.
More dangerous species imitate relatively harmless species --
This has always been the theory that coral snakes share the color of harmless milk snakes, but the advantages are not obvious, while Wassmanian imitation is a kind of imitation, similar to another member of their own family, such as termite groups and ant colonies.
Fireflies attract their partners by flashing (careful! )
A unique set of signals specific to their species.
In a case of shocking false guidance, females from the Photinus species mimic female signals from Photuris and attract unsuspecting males.
The boys hurried here expecting some fresh food but were eaten alive.
At the bottom of the sea, there is a kind of head animal called Octopus.
Dense octopus)
Show all forms (
It looks like a set of eel, flat fish, sponges, and is hidden under the sea)
In order to avoid being discovered, and move forward on prey, and blend with the surrounding environment.
If the octopus performed an Oscar, it would be an award that swept the board.
It also shows aggressive colors when threatened.
It is really a master of imitation and disguise.
Reproductive imitation, or how flowers fool the Hornets to have sex!
Wild orchids have evolved into deceptive pollinators who believe they will be rewarded for their availability.
These flowers have evolved to resemble female wasps in shape, color, fur and even smell.
The male wasp landed and mated with what he thought was a female wasp, but it was actually an orchid.
When the deed is done, it's too late to realize what's going on --
He was covered with pollen and repeated it only once he flew, helping the cunning little orchid to pollinate and breed.
Wonderful David Attenborough tells the video of a bunch of crazy Wasps trying to make love with flowers!
This phenomenon is also called a dummy.
AutomimicryThere others fool predators by modifying the parts of their bodies.
The most common thing is to trick predators into thinking that the head of an organism is elsewhere.
False eye patterns are both threatening and rewarding.
When distracted predators avoid species by mistakenly thinking they are something else, this defensive imitation saves lives.
Predators often stare into the eyes of their prey to determine direction and movement.
By providing false eye patterns, prey is able to buy precious time through the wrong position to escape the evil predator.
From highly toxic frogs in the rainforest to stinking SKATS, animals also compete fairly by using various clues to warn predators not to tell their enemies about their toxicity and inadaptability.
Predators know to avoid this animal for fear of rapid and painful death.
This phenomenon of warning signals (
Mainly coloring)
It is called "uninitiated"(
Literally a signal to walk away)
Because of evolutionary memory, predators have a natural avoidance of this species.
The word was created by naturalist Edward B Bolton in his work the color of animals.
Information system signals are very noticeable, memorable and easy to learn for vigilant predators.
The association with taste, toxicity, or unpleasant smell is quickly learned to become the second nature of predators, including us humans.
The art of deception using the infinite variety of survival strategies of camouflage and imitation is amazing.
In the natural theater, life finds many ways to attach to the surface of the Earth.
Millions of years of mutation and evolution have brought hidden benefits that allow the species to thrive without being noticed.
For everyone in these species, before life finds a way to survive, one cannot imagine how many generations have died.
Now, humans are learning the art of disguise and imitation from these teachers of nature.
There are so many lessons to learn.
