Summary Introduction
To describe:
Definition and examples of camouflage, warning coloration, Batesian, and Mullerian mimicry, startle coloration, and aggressive mimicry.
Introduction:
Various adaptation techniques in insects, plants, and animals help them in evading the predators in the environmental surroundings and are necessary for their survival.

Why is camouflage considered an adaptive response to predation?
Describe the predation strategy (i.e., actively searching or ambush) of zebrafish under a well-lit environment.
In the eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus), mothers sometimes take parental favoritism to extreme lengths by killing their sons, but never their daughters (Heinsohn et al. 2011). Sex-specific infanticide occurs more often at nests that can be flooded during the rainy season. Sons spend longer in the nest than daughters. Link this factor to why it might be adaptive for a parent parrot to kill a son in a vulnerable nest occupied by offspring of both sexes.
