Question:

Aposematism

Author: Judzea Gatt



Answer:

Making yourself unpalatable for predator. Must be advertised no use if predator does not know. Development of warning colouration. Evolved with convergent evolution across species to be clear. Costly to early developers as bright colours made them easy prey until predators learned not to eat them. Leads to development of Bastian mimicry of palatable prey pretending to be unpalatable
