Background evolution in camouflage systems: a predator-prey/pollinator-flower game.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Feb 2010

Abbott Kevin R

Abstract excerpt

A common predator or anti-predator strategy involves camouflage based on background matching. In some systems, the background is an organism whose fitness is affected by the predator-prey interaction. In these cases, the phenotype of the background species may evolve to affect the degree of backg...
