The coevolution of warning signals.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Apr 2002

Sherratt Thomas N

Abstract excerpt

It has long been recognized that defended prey tend to be conspicuous. Current theories suggest that the association ('aposematism') has arisen because predators more readily learn to avoid attacking defended phenotypes when they are conspicuous. In this paper, I consider why such psychology has...
