Linking the evolution and form of warning coloration in nature
Many animals are toxic or unpalatable and signal this to predators with warning signals
(aposematism). Aposematic appearance has long been a classical system to study predator …

The evolution and ecology of multiple antipredator defences
Prey seldom rely on a single type of antipredator defence, often using multiple defences to
avoid predation. In many cases, selection in different contexts may favour the evolution of …

Warning signals are seductive: Relative contributions of color and pattern to predator avoidance and mate attraction in Heliconius butterflies
SD Finkbeiner, AD Briscoe, RD Reed - Evolution, 2014 - academic.oup.com

[HTML][HTML] Stimulus salience as an explanation for imperfect mimicry
The theory of mimicry explains how a mimic species gains advantage by resembling a
model species [1–3]. Selection for increased mimic-model similarity should then result in …

Role of different colours of aposematic insects in learning, memory and generalization of naïve bird predators
Among the various properties of visual warning signals, colour seems to be especially
important for avian predators. We tested the role of particular colours of an aposematic …

Weak warning signals can persist in the absence of gene flow
Aposematic organisms couple conspicuous warning signals with a secondary defense to
deter predators from attacking. Novel signals of aposematic prey are expected to be …
