Aposematism and gregariousness: the combined effect of group size and coloration on signal repellence

G Gamberale, BS Tullberg - Proceedings of the Royal …, 1998 - royalsocietypublishing.org

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
