Post-attack Aposematic Display in Prey Facilitates Predator Avoidance Learning

Abstract: Warning signals protect unpalatable prey from predation because predators who learn the association between the warning signal and prey unprofitability decrease attacks on the prey. Most of the research have focused on visual aposematic signals that are constantly presented and visible to the predators. But a variety of chemically defended insects are rather cryptic when resting, and only in response to predator attacks (post-attack) they perform displays of conspicuous abdomens or hindwings normally hidden un… Show more

“…Recently, however, researchers experimentally explored the switchable visual displays of some chemically defended prey (Kang, Lee & Jablonski, 2011;Kang et al, 2016) rising new questions and "rejuvenating" old ones in this field (Umbers et al, 2017).…”

“…First, regardless of any aposematic function, a sudden switch may simply surprise the predator away (the "startling" effect; Ruxton et al, 2018). The sudden switching might also accelerate the predator's learning about the aposematic prey (Kang et al, 2016). Finally, it might cut down unnecessary signal exposure because an animal can present the expensive signal only when needed (Grober, 1988;De Cock & Matthysen, 1999;Umbers et al, 2017).…”

“…This decision helped us to study the cost-saving 899 aspects of switchable aposematism without further complications. However, this assumption is 900 far from reality Kang et al 2016;Ruxton et al 2018), and the model 901 predicts that the switchable aposematism would be more favored if startle and facilitation effects 902 could provide survival advantages (Supplementary Figure 1). 903 904 905 Visualizing hypothetical evolutionary pathways leading to aposematism.…”
