| Coloration in skunks and stink badgers serves as an aposematic signal to would-be predators. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| These include various lepidopterans and the African grasshopper, which adopt aposematic coloring as a warning. |
| Rattlesnakes shake their tail rattles as aposematic warnings. |
| 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. |
