Stabilizing selection on individual pattern elements of aposematic signals.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 30 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

Warning signal variation is ubiquitous but paradoxical: low variability should aid recognition and learning by predators. However, spatial variability in the direction and strength of selection for individual elements of the warning signal may allow phenotypic variation for some components, but not others. Variation in selection may occur if predators only learn particular colour pattern components rather than...
