| These include various lepidopterans and the African grasshopper, which adopt aposematic coloring as a warning. |
|
| Coloration in skunks and stink badgers serves as an aposematic signal to would-be predators. |
|
| Additionally, taxonomically troubling taxa such as Crataegus makes identification and quantification of aposematic species extremely difficult. |
|
| Regression of the shell, development of aposematic colorations, and acquisition of toxic defenses are general evolutionary trends within the group. |
|
| Alternatively, they may be used to signal to predators, the classic example being aposematic coloration in species that have noxious defenses, such as skunks. |
|
| Many animals and insects that taste awful, sting or can otherwise turn a good day sour have adapted this warning-label strategy, known as aposematic coloration. |
|
| Arthropods smaller than 1 mm, ants, isopods, and arthropods with aposematic colorations were excluded from the counts because these are rarely consumed by insectivorous birds. |
|
| To further investigate the effects of prey contrast on predator behavior, I conducted an experiment with young chicks as predators on live aposematic and nonaposematic prey. |
|
| Rattlesnakes shake their tail rattles as aposematic warnings. |
|
| Clusters amplify the signal of aposematic coloration, and individuals may participate in group regurgitation or displays. |
|
| Some types of caterpillars are indeed poisonous or distasteful and their bright coloring is aposematic. |
|
| Experimentation has shown that certain birds and mammals, at least, are capable of acquiring and retaining knowledge of some aposematic mechanisms from a single experience. |
|
| Chemical defense and aposematic coloration in larvae of the ascidian Ecteinascidia turbinate. |
|
| The black and yellow bands suggest that the tadpole may secrete toxins in some way, but as the species has only recently been discovered scientists are unsure of the true use of such aposematic colours. |
|
| However, some species of moth have exploited this, such as the tiger moths which produces aposematic ultrasound signals to warn bats that they are chemically protected. |
|
| Aposematic coloration or warning coloration is found in a wide array of animals. |
