• Quantifying predation on folivorous insect larvae: the perspective of life‐history evolution (2011, background): “For example, larvae displaying warning coloration often possess chemical defences (aposematism) and are frequently rejected by insectivorous birds (Lindström, Alatalo & Mappes, 1999; Gamberale-Stille, 2001; Exnerová et al., 2003, 2007; Lindström et al., 2006; e.g. Roper, 1990; Svádová et al., 2009).”
• Role of different colours of aposematic insects in learning, memory and generalization of naïve bird predators (2009, methodology): “Most studies have focused on comparison of typical warning colours (red, orange, yellow and white) with a nonwarning one (e.g. Sillén-Tullberg 1985a; Roper & Redston 1987; Roper 1990; Lindström et al. 1999a; Rowe & Guilford 1999; Exnerová et al. 2003; Gamberale-Stille & Guilford 2003) whereas studie”
• Direction and strength of selection by predators for the color of the aposematic wood tiger moth (2011, background): “Predator–prey experiments addressing the evolution of aposematism often focus on 1 or 2 predator species (but see Exnerová et al. 2003, 2007).”
• Importance of colour in the reaction of passerine predators to aposematic prey: experiments with mutants of Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera) (2006, background): “The experimental cages contained a perch (20 cm above the floor) and a circular feeding tray with six cups (for details, see Exnerová et al., 2003a).”
• Does colour matter? The importance of colour in avoidance learning, memorability and generalisation (2006, background): “Previous studies have similarly shown that some birds have biases against the colours used in aposematic displays (see review by Schuler and Roper 1992; Exnerová et al. 2003).”
