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 …

Eyespots are found in a variety of animals, in particular lepidopterans. The role of eyespots
as antipredator mechanisms has been discussed since the 19th Century, with two main …

The strategies underlying different forms of protective coloration are well understood but little
attention has been paid to the ecological, life‐history and behavioural circumstances under …

Insect communities consist of aposematic species with efficient warning colours against
predation, as well as abundant examples of crypsis. To understand such coexistence, we …

Deals with all aspects of adaptive resemblance Full colour Covers everything from classic
examples of Batesian, Mullerian, aggressive and sexual mimicries through to human …

Many animals bear colors and patterns to reduce the risk of predation from visually hunting
predators, including warning colors, camouflage, and mimicry. In addition, various species …

Poison dart frogs provide classic examples of warning signals: potent toxins signaled by
distinctive, conspicuous coloration. We show that, counterintuitively, the bright yellow and …

This book about various types of visual defense (coloration, morphology, movement) of
plants against herbivores is not just a list of facts and hypotheses, with a reference source …

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 …

Aposematic conspicuous coloration consists of one or a few bright colours, often in
combination with a black defined internal pattern. The function of conspicuousness in …
