Induced defense is a response that is only activated when a predator is present. High-pitched alarm calls made by squirrels are an induced defense as they are only made in the presence of a predator to warn other members of their species. Bright coloration, background color matching, and resembling twigs are examples of prey adaptations that are constant and not induced.
