Download or read book Tiger Moths and Woolly Bears written by William E. Conner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moths of the family Arctiidae, with their brilliant coloration, spectacular courtship rituals, and bizarre defenses, are wonders of the natural world. Unpalatable by virtue of secondary chemicals acquired from their hostplants, these moths advertise their defenses by their coloration and often mimic butterflies, wasps, bees, stinkbugs, and even cockroaches. They have ears with which they hear the echolocation of bats, and some answer with aposematic warnings, while some may jam the bats' sonar.This book, the first written on this fascinating group, documents how tiger moths and woolly bears-the adults and larvae of the Arctiidae-flourish in a world rife with predators, parasites, and competitors. The contributing authors' accounts, each written by a recognized expert in the field, weave together seminal studies on phylogeny and behavior, natural history, chemical communication, mate choice and sexual selection, chemical ecology, parasite-host relationships, self medication, animal orientation, predator-prey interactions, mimicry, adaptive coloration, speciation, biodiversity, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When George W. ("Woolly") Bear moved into Elder Haven, a retirement community on Hilton Head Island, Souh Carolina, he was delighted. The location was on a semi-tropical barrier island with the many amenities of a warm climate, and a wealth of activities and benefits for older people. Little did he conceive that the Haven was a den of horrors where all of the disappointments and problems of his past years would pale by comparison with life at this bleak institution. And he would not only face his own unwelcome burdens but would be besieged by the problems of other residents who pleaded with him for help. Fortunately, placing his faith in the hands of his ancient heritage, he discovered an unexpected source of mysterious perception, energy, and insight that revealed to him the secret of success at the end of this tunnel of darkness.
