冬眠是动物的一种重要防御策略，150年来，它一直被用来说明和研究进化。现在很明显，许多伪装概念可能也适用于植物，吸引了越来越多的关注。在这里，我们回顾了不同的伪装策略的假设和证据，植物和概念化的状态下发挥在植物隐蔽伪装理论的一般框架。此外，我们还比较了植物和动物使用的伪装策略，概述了促进和限制隐蔽进化的关键因素，并强调了植物伪装的进化和生态意义。最终，我们展示了植物伪装如何表现出与动物的许多共性，以及这种未充分研究的平行现象如何为生态学和进化中的关键问题提供信息。
Camouflage is a key defensive strategy in animals, and it has been used to illustrate and study evolution for 150 years. It is now evident that many camouflage concepts likely also apply to plants, attracting greatly increased attention. Here, we review the hypotheses and evidence for different camouflage strategies used by plants and conceptualise the state of play in plant concealment under a general framework of camouflage theory. In addition, we compare the camouflage strategies used by plants and animals, outline key factors promoting and constraining the evolution of concealment, and highlight the evolutionary and ecological implications of plant camouflage. Ultimately, we show how plant camouflage exhibits many commonalities with animals and how this understudied parallel phenomenon can inform key questions in ecology and evolution.
