In autumn, insects choose trees where they will lay eggs. When the larvae（幼虫）come out the next spring, t

They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs.Dr. Hamilton and students turned the theory into a
30、mathematical model, which showed that warning signals could indeed drive the evolution（进化）of bright leaves. It was a first attempt to see what was out there.A research team from the University of Wisconsin gave a quite different explanation. “If you are up here in Wisconsin, by the time leaves chang

Besides, autumn colors might protect the leaves from water loss. If the cells in the leaves become dry, the connections between the cells will be weakened and leaves will break off.Altho
