Synopsis

"Deadly Defense" explores the captivating world of animal defenses and the evolutionary arms race between predator and prey. It examines how natural selection has shaped incredible survival strategies, from physical barriers like porcupine quills to sophisticated behavioral tactics like mimicry. The book illustrates how these adaptations aren't just quirky traits but integral components of the ecological web, influencing predator-prey dynamics and species distribution.

 
A key insight is understanding the ecological impacts of these defense mechanisms, revealing how they ripple through the food chain and shape entire communities. The book progresses from introducing different types of defenses, such as physical, chemical, and behavioral, to exploring the evolutionary origins and ecological implications of these strategies. Each chapter delves into specific categories, offering detailed examples and case studies. For instance, some insects employ mimicry, evolving to resemble dangerous species to deter predators, a testament to the power of adaptation.

 
Through a conversational and accessible style, "Deadly Defense" makes complex biological principles understandable to a broad audience, enhancing our appreciation for the interconnectedness of life.

    The never-before-told story of the horned rabbit—the myths, the hoaxes, the very real scientific breakthrough it inspired—and how it became a cultural touchstone of the American West. 
    Just what is a jackalope? Purported to be part jackrabbit and part antelope, the jackalope began as a local joke concocted by two young brothers in a small Wyoming town during the Great Depression. Their creation quickly spread around the US, where it now regularly appears as innumerable forms of kitsch wall mounts, postcards, keychains, coffee mugs, shot glasses, and so on. A vast body of folk narratives has carried the jackalope’s fame around the world to inspire art, music, film, even erotica! 
    Although the jackalope is an invention of the imagination, it is nevertheless connected to actual horned rabbits, which exist in nature and have for centuries been collected and studied by naturalists. Around the time the two young boys were creating the first jackalope in Wyoming, Dr. Richard Shope was making his first breakthrough about the cause of the horns: a virus. When the virus that causes rabbits to grow “horns” (a keratinous carcinoma) was first genetically sequenced in 1984, oncologists were able to use that genetic information to make remarkable, field-changing advances in the development of antiviral cancer therapies. The most important of these is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which protects against cervical and other cancers. Today, jackalopes are literally helping us cure cancer. 
    For fans of David Quammen’s The Song of the Dodo, Jon Mooallem’s Wild Ones, or Jeff Meldrum's Sasquatch, Michael P. Branch's remarkable On the Trail of the Jackalope is an entertaining and enlightening road trip through the heart of America.
