Colouration in Animals and Plants

"Colouration in Animals and Plants" by Alfred Tylor is a late 1800s science piece that examines the purpose and regulations dealing with colors in living things, investigating how color acts as protection, imitation, and a way to attract mates. This literary work strives to give a broad look at how color schemes are made and kept in the world around us. It introduces the main concepts connecting color and purpose in both animals and plants, as well as discusses how decoration in living things often shows their structure and job in the ecosystem, with color providing important means for protection and warning. Evolutionary ideas are explored with their effect on color designs. The opening section provides a starting point for a closer look at the details and guidelines that control color differences between different kinds of living things.
