Poison frog colors are honest signals of toxicity, particularly for bird predators
ME Maan, ME Cummings - The American Naturalist, 2012 - journals.uchicago.edu
Antipredator defenses and warning signals typically evolve in concert. However, the
extensive variation across taxa in both these components of predator deterrence and the …

Multimodal aposematic signals and their emerging role in mate attraction
Chemically defended animals often display conspicuous color patterns that predators learn
to associate with their unprofitability and subsequently avoid. Such animals (ie, aposematic) …

Imprinting sets the stage for speciation
Sexual imprinting—a phenomenon in which offspring learn parental traits and later use them
as a model for their own mate preferences—can generate reproductive barriers between …

A Test of Aposematism in the Dendrobatid Poison Frog Oophaga pumilio: The Importance of Movement in Clay Model Experiments
Brightly colored frogs of Dendrobatidae contain alkaloid-based chemical defenses which
appear to be utilized as a deterrent to predators. The conspicuous coloration of these frogs …
