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：性选择在警告性进化中的作用。

警告是一种适应，个体进化出明显的信号，表明存在反捕食者防御。Maisonneuve和Aubier（2025）利用数学模型探讨了性选择在警示性进化中的作用，发现一些警示性信号可能源于性选择特征。他们的研究结果表明，这些信号的进化是通过配偶选择和捕食压力的结合，强调了性选择和自然选择之间潜在的相互作用，形成了警告信号特征的进化。
