Automimicry destabilizes aposematism: predator sample-and-reject behaviour may provide a solution.
Aposematism, the use of conspicuous colours to advertise unpalatability to predators, is perhaps the most studied signalling system in nature. However, its evolutionary stability remains paradoxical. The paradox is illustrated by the problem of automimicry. Automimics are palatable individuals withi...
