摘 要:1 Introduction The study of anti-predator coloration and behaviour has a long and rich history in biology. It has from the very outset of Darwin's theory of natural selection provided numerous areas to test mechanisms and function in evolution. While Darwin perhaps concentrated most of his attention regarding animal coloration on his theory of sexual selection (Darwin, 1871), his contem- poraries placed much greater emphasis and time to explain the variety of ways that coloration and behaviour protected animals from attack from predators.
