Camouflage
• Often important for predators and prey to avoid being seen
• Predators to catch their prey and prey to hide from their predators
• Camouflage: Passive or adaptive

Mimicry
• Mullerian: two or more inedible species all evolve to look similar maximizing efficiency with which predators learn to avoid them
• Batesian: an edible species evolves to look similar to an inedible species to avoid predation

Instead of looking dangerous… do the opposite and look like something harmless!
In this case mimicry is not a defense, but an offense!

Adaptations in the Deep-Sea
• Physical Conditions•- Cold•- High Pressure•- Dark
• Animals (and food) are sparse

• Detritus from the surface ocean food web falls down to the deep sea
• This falling detrital material is marine snow, fecal pellets and occasional dead animals
• Marine Snow consists of bits of aggregates of algae, discarded larvacean houses, microorganisms, etc.
Food for the Deep
- Clear bodies or reflective sides and counterillumination (disphotic zone)
- Red or Black bodies (aphotic zone)
- Oversize mouths
- Specialized eyes (or degenerated)
- Bioluminescence

• Counterillumination (camouflage)
• Communication (finding mates)
• Lures (enticing prey)
• Searchlights (illuminate prey)
• Decoy or surprise (escape from predator)

✦ Low Numbers (not much food)
✦ High Diversity (resource limited)
✦ Long Lives (low metabolic rates)
✦ Many deposit feeders and scavengers
✦ Epifauna - urchins, brittle stars, crinoids, etc
✦ Infauna - crustaceans, worms, etc.
