Models of aposematism and the role of aversive learning

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.

Aposematism in the burying beetle? Dual function of anal fluid in parental care and chemical defence

, 2017
Burying beetles (Nicrophorus vespilloides) bear distinctive and variable orange-black patterning on their elytra and produce an anal exudate from their abdomen when threatened. During breeding, the anal exudates contribute to the antimicrobial defence of

The effect of aposematism and food calls on the feeding behaviour of domestic chicks

, 2010
Aposematism is a defence system used by toxic animals where the animals use warning colouration, often combined with warning gestures, to fend off predators.
