The theory of warning signals dates back to Wallace but is still confusing, controversial and
complex. Because predator avoidance of warningly coloured prey (aposematism) is based …

▪ Abstract Mimicry and warning color are highly paradoxical adaptations. Color patterns in
both Müllerian and Batesian mimicry are often determined by relatively few pattern …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

HUMANS and certain other species find symmetrical patterns more attractive than
asymmetrical ones. These preferences may appear in response to biological signals1–3, or …

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

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 …

Antipredator defenses and warning signals typically evolve in concert. However, the
extensive variation across taxa in both these components of predator deterrence and the …

Frequency-dependent predation may maintain or prevent colour pattern polymorphisms in
prey, and can be caused by a variety of biological phenomena, including perceptual …

Publisher Summary The subject matter of evolutionary game theory is the analysis of conflict
and cooperation in animals and plants. Originally, game theory was developed as a theory …
