Bionics – An Arms Race of the Senses #14
by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)
Description
Evolution shows that plants and animals have developed ingenious strategies to protect themselves from predators. Predators, however, developed equally sophisticated senses in order to better detect their prey. The development of survival strategies, hence, resembles an »arms race« of evolution. This book demonstrates how highly effective sensory performance for tracking prey and, in turn, more effective »weapons« for warding off enemies have developed. We learn, for example, how bats can orient themselves in the dark while hunting moths and what remarkable techniques moths use to protect themselves from their nocturnal hunters.
