Cephalopods employ inking as a strategy for escape or concealment. I wonder what other strategies exist in the animal and plant world. Are there any books on this subject?

Not a perfect fit, but I suspect you might like How Far the Light Reaches (Sabrina Imbler). It’s an essay collection by a science writer, and it braids their lived experience (especially as a queer and mixed-race person) with the lives of aquatic animals. There are essays about the sand striker, the immortal jellyfish, the octopus who bred her eggs for four years (if memory serves) before they hatched… It’s a great read.
