[Book] Mimicry, Crypsis, Masquerade and other Adaptive Resemblances

Wrote by Post Comment


擬態/警戒色的生物學進展相當快速，眾多的文章讓很多人難以一窺理論發展的全貌。這本書
縱觀自亨利貝茨十八世紀起的觀察，到近代的理論發展，將擬態生物學的基礎理論與實務發展做了相當清楚的整理，內容包含名詞的爭議與解釋、理論介紹、實務實驗介紹，與許多相關的實例等，這本書可說是未來擬態生物學相關領域的重要文獻。

作者原為Imperial College London生物科學系的教授，2013年退休後至曼谷的Chulalongkorn University作為訪問教授。主要研究領域有寄生蜂的系統分類、生態與演化，系統發生學方法，擬態與警戒色等諸多領域。
