Variation in spectral reflectance among populations of Dendrobates pumilio, the strawberry poison frog, in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama (2003, background): “…in which different colours 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Journal of Biogeography, 30, 35–53 are more effective at advertising toxicity, and antagonistic coevolution involving coevolutionary chase of toxic models by non-toxic Batesian mimics (Mallet & Joron, 1999; Speed & Turner, 1999).”
Testing historical explanations for gradients in species richness in heliconiine butterflies of tropical America (2012, result): “…was predicted for Heliconius warning colour originally on the basis of disjunct colour patterns in the periphery of the Amazon, and also because it was consistent with other evidence for a ‘shifting balance’ mode of warning pattern diversification (Mallet, 1993, 2010; Turner & Mallet, 1996).”
