Unexpected colour pattern variation in mimetic frogs: implication for the diversification of warning signals in the genus Ranitomeya

Unexpected colour pattern variation in mimetic frogs: implication for the diversification of warning signals in the genus Ranitomeya

Predation is expected to promote uniformity in the warning coloration of defended prey, but also mimicry convergence between aposematic species. Despite selection constraining both colour-pattern and population divergence, many aposematic animals display numerous geographically structured population...
