Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colouration in Animals and Plants This little book is only a sketch of what its Author desired it to be, and he never saw the completed manuscript. Beginning with the fundamental idea that decoration is based upon structure, he saw that this was due to the fact that in the lower, transparent, animals, colour is applied directly to the organs, and that the decoration of opaque animals is carried out on the same principle - the primitive idea being maintained. Where function changes the pattern alters, where function is localized colour is concentrated: and thus the law of emphasis was evolved. Symmetry was a necessary consequence, for like parts were decorated alike, and this symmetry was carried out in detail apparently for the sake of beauty, as in the spiracular markings of many larvae. Hence the reason for recognizing the law of repetition. With the developing of these ideas the necessity for recognizing some sort of consciousness even in the lowest forms of life was forced upon the Author, until inherited memory formed part of his scientific faith. This he saw dimly years ago, but only clearly when Mr. S. Butler's remarkable "Life and Habit" appeared, and he was gratified and strengthened when he found Mr. Romanes adopting that theory in his "Mental Evolution." The opening chapters are designedly elementary; for the Author had a wise dread of locking intellectual treasures in those unpickable scientific safes of which "the learned" alone hold keys.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Coloration: An Account of the Principal Facts and Theories Relating to the Colours and Markings of Animals The present volume has grown out of materials which I had collected for the "Davis Lectures," delivered by me in the Zoological Society's Gardens during the spring of 1890. This book is addressed, as were the lectures, to persons having no special knowledge of zoology, but that general interest in the facts and problems of the science, which is now so widely spread. It contains hardly anything novel, but professes to give some account of the principal phenomena of coloration exhibited by animals. Some of the facts and theories, however, have not, so far as I am aware, as yet found their way into works of a popular character; I refer particularly to the ingenious theories of Dr. Eisig and M. Stolzmann. Inasmuch as Mr. Poulton's work upon the Colours of Animals, recently published as one of the volumes of the 'International Scientific Series," and Mr. Wallace's sketch of coloration in his Darwinism," deal with colour almost entirely from the point of view of natural selection, I have attempted to lay some stress upon other aspects of the question. The literature relating to animal coloration is enormous; so much so that it is really beyond the powers of any person who cannot give up his whole time to abstract it thoroughly. To write an exhaustive work upon Animal Coloration requires a sort of naturalist that now hardly can exist - a specialist in every group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colour in Nature: A Study in Biology Having now justified the intrusion of the bio logist into what appears to be the domain of the physicist, we are at liberty to face the phenomena of colour as they appear in organisms. As, however, the relation of colour phenomena to the theory of Natural Selection has had so much attention bestowed upon it, we do not propose, at least in the first place, to consider it here, but rather to direct attention to the Chemical, and where possible, to the physio logical aspects of the colours and pigments of organisms. In a final summary it will be necessary to consider the bearing of the facts upon theories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Adaptative Coloration in Animals Classic Reprint written by Hugh B. Cott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adaptative Coloration in Animals Cases in which an unusual resting position is adopted provide beautiful evidence of his contentions. Counter-shading is reversed in fish which swim upside-down and caterpillars which rest inverted. Bark-haunting moths have their markings running parallel with the vertical cracks of the bark, whether they rest with body vertical or horizontal, with wings folded or expanded. The correlation Of behaviour and markings, indeed, as Poulton long ago pointed out, is one of the strongest supports for theories of adaptive coloration. Even if it were possible for a case-hardened sceptic to dismiss as accidental such isolated facts as the co-existence, In various stingless insects, of a resemblance to bees or wasps on the one hand and on the other of motions simulating stinging, and even of the protrusion of an imitation sting, the enormous array of less spectacular but equally significant correlations provided by Dr. Cott is overwhelming. Dr. Cott is a true follower of Darwin in driving his conclusions home by sheer weight Of examples. Faced with his long lists of demonstrative cases, the reader is tempted to wonder why adaptive theories of coloration have been singled out for attack by anti-selectionists. Asdr. Cott observes, physiologists and geneticists do not deny that wings exhibit characters which make them suitable as mechanisms for flying, or that legs, beaks and teeth are adaptively correlated with mode of life.

In the preceding chapter attention has been directed to numerous instances of colour and arrangement of colour which appear to have the result of rendering the animal similar to its surroundings. The colours known as '" warning" have a precisely opposite tendency--viz., to render their possessor conspicuous. As the explanation of warning colours was first devised by Mr. Wallace to account for the brilliancy in the tints of certain caterpillars, and as the whole subject has been principally studied by experiments upon these animals, we shall commence here, and afterwards pass on to other groups. The Magpie Moth Caterpillar as an Instance of Warning Colours. One of the most abundant caterpillars in any garden is that of the "Magpie" moth (Abraxas grossulariata); it belongs to the Geometers, but has not the habit, which most of its allies have, of remaining during the day stretched out rigidly from a twig. Nor does it approximate in colour, as do nearly all other Geometers, to the plants upon which it feeds. The colour of the Magpie caterpillar is white, with black stripes and dots, and some reddish marks below. Mr. Jenuer Weir, Mr. A. G. Butler, and Mr. Poultou, found that several birds, lizards, frogs and spiders, almost invariably refused to touch this caterpillar when offered to them; occasionally it was tasted by the tree frog, and once "chewed for some time," but finally rejected, by a hungry Lacerta, muralis. Mr. Weir once found that a specimen was eaten by Lacerta viridis. Some experiments made by myself at the Zoological Gardens partly confirm and partly contradict the conclusion to which the above observations appear to point--viz., that the larva is regarded by birds as inedible. Several...
