TL;DR: A greater appreciation of the extent of variation in aposematic species, and of the selective pressures and constraints which contribute to this once‐paradoxical phenomenon, yields a new perspective for the field of Aposematic signalling.

TL;DR: Analysis of the behaviour of tabanids in the vicinity of captive plains zebras and uniformly coloured domestic horses living on a horse farm in Britain indicates that, up close, striped surfaces prevented flies from making a controlled landing but did not influence tabanid behaviour at a distance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different artificial light sources on multiple aspects of hawkmoth visual ecology, including their perception of floral signals for pollination, the potential for intraspecific sexual signalling, and the effectiveness of their visual defences against avian predators, were investigated.

TL;DR: This study examines the relationship between defensive chemicals and signal properties in a family of aposematic Lepidoptera, accounting for phylogenetic relationships and quantifying coloration from the perspective of relevant predators, and finds no clear evidence of quantitative signal honesty.

TL;DR: There were no significant relationships between mean cyanogenic glucoside concentration and metrics of wing coloration across populations in males, yet in females higher cyanogenic glucose levels were associated with smaller and lighter red forewing markings, highlighting generally important reasons why signal honesty should not always be expected in aposematic species.
