Animal camouflage has long been used to illustrate the power of natural selection, and
provides an excellent testbed for investigating the trade‐offs affecting the adaptive value of …

Insects have evolved various types of antipredator defenses. For example, many insects
have evolved crypsis, and exhibit cryptic body colors and shapes for hiding from predators …

The use of image data to quantify, study and compare variation in the colours and patterns of
organisms requires the alignment of images to establish homology, followed by colour …

The role of colours and colour patterns in behavioural ecology has been extensively studied
in a variety of contexts and taxa, while almost overlooked in many others. For decades …

Many organisms have evolved adaptations to increase the odds of survival of their offspring.
Parental care has evolved several times in animals including ectotherms. In amphibians …

The combined use of noxious chemical defences and conspicuous warning colours is a
ubiquitous anti-predator strategy. That such signals advertise the presence of defences is …

Chemically defended animals often display conspicuous color patterns that predators learn
to associate with their unprofitability and subsequently avoid. Such animals (ie, aposematic) …

Predator–prey interaction is a major force driving natural selection. Yet, the identification of
species preying on, or consuming, aposematic species is largely unknown. Here, I conduct a …

Contrary to expectations regarding efficient predator education mediated by lack of
ambiguity and enhanced prey recognition, aposematic signals often show considerable …

Many animals bear conspicuous warning signals that advertise toxin-mediated
unpalatability to predators; this is known as aposematism. Frogs in particular have evolved …
