Chemical defences indicate distinct colour patterns with reduced variability in aposematic nudibranchs

C. P. van den Berg, M. Santon, J. A. Endler, L. Drummond, B. R. Dawson, C. Santiago, N. Weber, K. L. Cheney

The paper quantifies colour pattern diversity in aposematic nudibranchs and links it to the strength of their chemical defences, finding reduced variability in defended species.

Signal detectability and boldness are not the same: the function of defensive colouration in nudibranchs is distance-dependent

C. P. van den Berg, J. A. Endler, K. L. Cheney

The study examines distance-dependent effects of aposematic coloration in nudibranchs, finding that detectability and boldness vary with viewing distance, supporting distance-dependent signaling.

Highly defended nudibranchs 'escape' to visually diverse background habitats

C. P. van den Berg, M. Santon, J. A. Endler, K. L. Cheney

The paper tests the escape and radiate hypothesis by analyzing if chemically defended nudibranch species occupy visually distinct backgrounds, finding support for spatiochromatic differences but not increased background diversity.

Constructed Synchronized Multimodal Signalling in Great Bowerbirds

J. A. Endler, S. Meehan, A. Rodrigues

The paper investigates how bower geometry in great bowerbirds synchronizes visual and auditory signals without neural circuitry, enhancing male attractiveness through constructed multimodal displays.

Colour pattern edge contrast statistics can predict detection speed and success at ecologically relevant viewing distances in triggerfish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus)

C. P. van den Berg, J. A. Endler, D. E. J. Papinczak, K. Cheney

This study examines how edge contrast statistics predict detection speed and success in triggerfish, finding that no single statistic explains much variation, but combined approaches show some correlation.

The price of defence: toxins, visual signals and oxidative state in an aposematic butterfly

J. D. Blount, H. M. Rowland, C. Mitchell, M. P. Speed, G. D. Ruxton, J. A. Endler, L. P. Brower

The study examines the relationship between toxin sequestration, oxidative damage, and conspicuousness in male monarch butterflies, finding that oxidative state influences the cost of aposematic signaling.
