Inducible defenses are widespread in the natural world. This book represents the survey of knowledge about the ecology and evolution of inducible defenses. It examines organisms as unicellular algae and higher vertebrates, and considers defenses ranging from immune systems to protective changes in morphology, behavior and life history.
"The editors have done an excellent job of drawing together a collection of authors representing a wide range of disciplines."-Mark D. Rausher, Duke University
