Ontogenetic shift from aposematism and gregariousness to crypsis in a Romaleid grasshopper - dataset
, 2020 Traits of chemically-defended animals can change as an individual grows and matures, and both theoretical and empirical evidence favour a direction of change from crypsis to aposematism.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Evolutionary convergence of color pattern in mimetic species is tightly linked with the evolution of chemical defenses. Yet, the evolutionary forces involved in natural variations of chemical defenses in aposematic species are still understudied. Herein,

, 2018 Defended prey often use distinctive, conspicuous, colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators (aposematism). These warning signals are frequently made up of salient, high contrast, stripes which have been hypothesised to increase ...

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.

Aposematism, Crypsis and Population Differentiation in the Strawberry Poison Frog
, 2012 Evolutionary transitions between the two major predator avoidance strategies aposematism and crypsis are expected to be associated with changes in many important traits of animals.

Aposematism and crypsis in a rodent: antipredator defence of the Norwegian lemming
, 2015 Aposematism is unusual in herbivorous mammals, and exceptions help clarify its ecology and evolution. The Norwegian lemming differs from other rodents in colouration and behaviour.

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.

, 2020 Aposematic organisms are often unprofitable to predators (e.g. because of defensive chemicals) which they advertise with a conspicuous signal (e.g. bright and conspicuous colour signals).

The butterfly rash of lupus: An example of aposematism? [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2013 Even the most seasoned and savvy clinician views lupus warily, considering it one of the most bewildering diseases in all of medicine. This situation should not be a surprise since the manifestations of lupus are dizzying in their variety and exasperating in their subtlety.
