Models of aposematism and the role of aversive learning [PDF]
The majority of species are under predatory risk in their natural habitat and targeted by predators as part of the food web. Through the process of evolution by natural selection manifold mechanisms have emerged to avoid predation.

A role for phenotypic plasticity in the evolution of aposematism [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 The evolution of warning coloration (aposematism) has been difficult to explain because rare conspicuous mutants should suffer a higher cost of discovery by predators relative to the cryptic majority, while at frequencies too low to facilitate predator aversion learning.

Defensive behaviors of Leptodactylus rhodomystax (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from northern Brazil [PDF]
, 2023 The study of defensive behaviors in anurans can lead to new hypotheses for a better understanding of prey-predator interactions. Herein, based on field observations, we described for the first time defensive behaviors of Leptodactylus rhodomystax.

Colors and Some Morphological Traits as Defensive Mechanisms in Anurans
International Journal of Zoology, 2009 Anurans may be brightly colored or completely cryptic. Generally, in the former situation, we are dealing with aposematism, and the latter is an example of camouflage.

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionPhotorhabdus spp. are the only known terrestrial bioluminescent bacteria. We show that the bioluminescence produced by these bacteria reduces scavenging activity on the insect cadavers they colonize. Photorhabdus spp.

The control effect of bionic sticky traps on Apolygus lucorum in pear orchards in Taigu District
Guoshu xuebao【Objective】Apolygus lucorum is a major polyphagous pest in pear orchards, causing severe damage to young fruits and reducing their commercial value. Since the 2000s, its occurrence and damage have progressively intensified, as the last-generation adults ...

Evolutionary and ecological dynamics of aposematism and mimicry in poison frogs [PDF]
, 2006 textIn aposematism, defended prey advertise their aversive qualities to predators using a warning signal. Predators that have learned the warning signal are thus the selective agent that can promote similarity in warning signals between distantly ...
