Abstract

Aposematism is an adaptation where individuals evolve conspicuous signals indicating the presence of anti-predator defenses. Maisonneuve and Aubier (2025) explored the role of sexual selection in the evolution of aposematism using a mathematical model and found that some aposematic signals may have originated from sexually selected traits. Their findings suggest that these signals evolved through a combination of mate choice and predation pressure, highlighting the potential interaction between sexual selection and natural selection in shaping the evolution of aposematic signaling traits.

摘要

警戒色是一种适应性特征，即个体进化出显眼的信号以表明存在反捕食防御机制。梅索尼厄夫和奥比尔（2025年）使用数学模型探究了性选择在警戒色进化中的作用，发现一些警戒信号可能起源于性选择特征。他们的研究结果表明，这些信号是通过配偶选择和捕食压力共同进化而来的，突出了性选择和自然选择在塑造警戒信号特征进化过程中的潜在相互作用。
