Predator-induced plasticity on the life-history and antipredator defenses of the aposematic wood tiger moth larva
Defense mechanisms in organisms evolve as a response of predator-prey interactions, reducing prey mortality. Flexibility in antipredator strategies due to heterogeneous environments can be explained by phenotypic plasticity. This plasticity can be important for aposematic organisms where varia...
