The “sexual selection hypothesis” for the origin of aposematism [PDF]
Abstract 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
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 ...
