Evolution of diversity in warning color and mimicry: polymorphisms, shifting balance, and speciation

J Mallet, M Joron - Annual review of ecology and systematics, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Mimicry and warning color are highly paradoxical adaptations. Color patterns in
both Müllerian and Batesian mimicry are often determined by relatively few pattern …

Reactions of hand-reared and wild-caught predators toward warningly colored, gregarious, and conspicuous prey

L Lindström, RV Alatalo, J Mappes - Behavioral Ecology, 1999 - academic.oup.com
Recently there has been debate over the importance of innate avoidance of aposematic
prey by predators, particularly birds. There is evidence that the predators have innate or …

Experimental approaches to studying the initial evolution of conspicuous aposematic signalling

L Lindström - Evolutionary Ecology, 1999 - Springer
Aposematism, where prey species conspicuously advertise their unprofitability to predators,
is a widespread defensive strategy. One feature of an aposematic anti-predatory strategy …

Fearful symmetry: pattern size and asymmetry affects aposematic signal efficacy

A Forsman, S Merilaita - Evolutionary Ecology, 1999 - Springer
Aposematic animals use anti-predator defence mechanisms such as distastefulness
coupled with distinctive odours, sounds, or colour visual signals to predation from domestic …

Experienced chicks show biased avoidance of stronger signals: an experiment with natural colour variation in live aposematic prey

G Gamberale-Stille, BS Tullberg - Evolutionary Ecology, 1999 - Springer
An important factor for understanding the evolution of warning coloration in unprofitable prey
is the synergistic effect produced by predator generalisation behaviour. Warning coloration …

Modeling associative learning with generalization for a case of warning signals

S Yachi, M Higashi - Ecological Research, 1999 - Springer
Animals' associative learning plays a crucial role in many intraspecific or interspecific
interactions, involving an animal's use of information on its interacting counterparts. Here …
