, 2021 To ward off predators prey may use defences that stimulate multiple sensory modalities (i.e., multimodal signalling). For example aposematic organisms are defended against predators with a warning signal combined with a secondary defence. This study focused on how the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) colour (genotypes WW and Wy are white and yy is ...

Aposematic species display bright colourations to advertise toxicity or unpalatability to predators. This is the case of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis), a generalist herbivore that has multiple chemical defences. They are able to sequester and accumulate pyrrolizidine alkalods from their diet and synthesize methoxypyrazines de novo that make ...

Chemical defences are one of the many armament animals can evolve to decrease the risk of predation. Often these defences are associated with a warning signal, known as aposematic colouration, to display their unprofitability. However, these harmful or distasteful compounds can come with a cost either associated with their de novo synthesis, with their

Geographic mosaic of selection by avian predators on hindwing warning colour in a polymorphic aposematic moth [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2020 Warning signals are predicted to develop signal monomorphism via positive frequency‐dependent selection (+FDS) albeit many aposematic systems exhibit signal polymorphism.
