THE EVOLUTION OF APOSEMATISM IN MARINE GASTROPODS [PDF]
In a recent review of the literature on marine gastropods, Rosenberg (1989) concludes that in this group,".. . as in the lepidopterans, . . . individual selection is the predominant mode of evolution of warning coloration." Rosenberg's analysis raises interesting issues concerning the evolution of aposematism generally, and in marine gastropods in ...
