Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many aposematic species show variation in their color patterns even though selection by predators is expected to stabilize warning signals toward a common phenotype.

The unresolved ecological and evolutionary role of fungal fruit body coloration
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Fruit body-forming fungi are hyperdiverse and of central importance for the functioning of ecosystems worldwide. They provide habitat and resources for other organisms and perform critical roles in carbon and nutrient cycling. Like in animals and plants,

Conspicuousness and toxicity of Coccinellidae: An aposematic review [PDF]
Arthropods, 2020 Coccinellids (commonly known as ladybirds) mostly exhibit bright clouration and play a vital role in biological control of pests of important crops such as aphids and scale insects.

Multimodal Aposematic Defenses Through the Predation Sequence
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Aposematic organisms warn predators of their unprofitability using a combination of defenses, including visual warning signals, startling sounds, noxious odors, or aversive tastes.

Ultraviolet components offer minimal contrast enhancement to an aposematic signal
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aposematic and sexual signals are often characterized by bright, highly contrasting colors. Many species can see colors beyond the human visible spectrum, and ultraviolet (UV) reflection has been found to play an important role in communication and ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Many chemically defended aposematic species are characterized by relatively low toxin levels, which enables predators to include them in their diets under certain circumstances.

VAE‐Based SPC for Botnet Detection in IoT Systems
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has created new security risks, particularly botnet infections. This paper proposes an unsupervised monitoring framework that combines a β$\beta$‐variational autoencoder (VAE) with multivariate statistical process control (SPC) for botnet detection in IoT networks.

Threat level and sound production mode modulate acoustic warnings and defensive biting in snakes
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately assessing predation risk is important because it enables prey to match their defensive behaviours to the level of threat and avoid unnecessary investment in costly responses.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.
