Many fishes, both freshwater or marine, have colour vision that may outperform humans. As
a result, to understand the behavioural tasks that vision enables; including mate choice …

We explore the relevance of honest signalling theory to the evolution of aposematism. We
begin with a general consideration of models of signal stability, with a focus on the Zahavian …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

Natural products play an invaluable role as a starting point in the drug discovery process,
and plants and animals use many interesting biologically active natural products as a …

Animals often change their habitat throughout ontogeny; yet, the triggers for habitat
transitions and how these correlate with developmental changes–eg physiological …

Many animals undergo complete metamorphosis, where larval forms change abruptly in
adulthood. Color change during ontogeny is common, but there is little understanding of …

This paper provides the first comprehensive annotated and illustrated inventory of
Nudipleura from Mozambique. A total of 267 species are recorded, including 61 putative …

The “escape and radiate” hypothesis predicts that once species have evolved aposematism,
defended species can utilize more visually diverse visual backgrounds as they “escape” the …

Abstract The genus Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 comprises mostly tropical sap‐sucking sea slugs
species with flamboyantly coloured forms. However, the potential for cryptic or pseudocryptic …
