The “Sexual Selection Hypothesis” for the Origin of Aposematism [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic EvolutionAbstract The evolution of aposematism, in which prey exhibit conspicuous signals indicating the presence of anti-predator defenses, is puzzling. Before predators learn to associate the signal with defense, increased visibility makes the conspicuous prey highly vulnerable to predation.

Evolutionary Transitions From Camouflage to Aposematism: Hidden Signals Play a Pivotal Role
Science, 2023 The initial evolution of warning signals in unprofitable prey, termed aposematism, is often seen as a paradox because any new conspicuous mutant would be easier to detect than its cryptic conspecifics and not readily recognized by naïve predators as ...

Aposematism Increases Acoustic Diversification and Speciation in Poison Frogs [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Multimodal signals facilitate communication with conspecifics during courtship, but they can also alert eavesdropper predators. Hence, signallers face two pressures: enticing partners to mate and avoiding detection by enemies.
