The evolution and ecology of multiple antipredator defences
Prey seldom rely on a single type of antipredator defence, often using multiple defences to
avoid predation. In many cases, selection in different contexts may favour the evolution of …

Diversity in warning coloration: selective paradox or the norm?
Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals
to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However …

Coral snakes predict the evolution of mimicry across New World snakes
Batesian mimicry, in which harmless species (mimics) deter predators by deceitfully imitating
the warning signals of noxious species (models), generates striking cases of phenotypic …

Pollination by hoverflies in the Anthropocene
Pollinator declines, changes in land use and climate-induced shifts in phenology have the
potential to seriously affect ecosystem function and food security by disrupting pollination …
