A mechanism for diversity in warning signals: conspicuousness versus toxicity in poison frogs

CR Darst, ME Cummings, DC Cannatella - Proceedings of the National …, 2006‏ - pnas.org

Why are warning displays multimodal?

C Rowe, C Halpin - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2013‏ - Springer
Multimodal defensive displays are commonplace, with prey combining conspicuous
coloration, sounds, odours and other chemical emissions to deter predators. These …

Co-mimics have a mutualistic relationship despite unequal defences

HM Rowland, E Ihalainen, L Lindström, J Mappes… - Nature, 2007‏ - nature.com
In the first clear mathematical treatment of natural selection, Müller proposed that a shared

State-dependent decision making: educated predators strategically trade off the costs and benefits of consuming aposematic prey

CA Barnett, M Bateson, C Rowe - Behavioral Ecology, 2007‏ - academic.oup.com
