Evolution of signal diversity : predator-prey interactions and the maintenance of warning colour polymorphism in the wood tiger moth Arctia plantaginis

, 2017
Aposematic organisms avoid predation by advertising defences with warning signals. The theory of aposematism predicts warning signal uniformity, yet variation in warning coloration is widespread.

How to fight multiple enemies : target-specific chemical defences in an aposematic moth

, 2017
Animals have evolved different defensive strategies to survive predation, among which chemical defences are particularly widespread and diverse. Here we investigate the function of chemical defence diversity, hypothesizing that such diversity has evolved

Medicative diet : the importance of diet and prophylactic treatment on survival and immunity of polyphagous Arctia plantaginis (Arctiidae) larvae

, 2018
Diet is one of the major factors directly and indirectly influencing insect’s life history traits and risk of getting infected. Additionally the insect’s fitness is severely affected by the broad diversity of parasites they are exposed to. As a consequence insects have developed well-evolved defences.

Prophylactic self-medication and bacterial avoidance behaviours in Arctia plantaginis larvae

, 2017
Insects have a range of behavioural defences that they can use against parasites. One of these behaviours is self-medication: the use of biologically active compounds by the host to ameliorate the effects of parasites and diseases.

Multiple modalities in insect warning displays have additive effects against wild avian predators

, 2019
Allocation to different components of defence has been suggested as an explanation for the existence of multiple aposematic morphs in a single population.

Weather fluctuation-induced constraints of adaptive coloration of the wood tiger moth

, 2020
Yksi värityksen tarkoitus on lämmönsäätely, mikä auttaa eliöitä sopeutumaan vaihteleviin ympäristöolosuhteisiin. Yhdistämällä pitkäaikainen seuranta-aineisto säätilan muutoksiin, voi auttaa meitä ymmärtämään lajin sopeutumispotentiaalia.

Evolutionary potential and constraints in an aposematic species: Genetic correlations between warning coloration and fitness components in wood tiger moths

Variability in warning signals is common but remains puzzling since deviations from the most common form should result in a higher number of predator attacks.

Efectos de la densidad larval en la elección de pareja en las hembras de la polilla Arctia plantaginis

Early life conditions are a key factor influencing animal behaviour, as different environments during development can affect individuals’ behaviours during adulthood.
