Conspicuous coloration of toxin-resistant predators implicates additional trophic interactions in a predator-prey arms race
Abstract
Antagonistic coevolution between natural enemies can produce highly exaggerated traits, such as prey toxins and predator resistance. This reciprocal process of adaptation and counter-adaptation may also open doors to other evolutionary novelties not directly involved in the phenotypic interface of coevolution.
