• Body size evolution in insects with different colouration strategies: the role of predation risk (2009, unknown): “Moreover, in conspicuously coloured artificial larvae, the searching efficiency of great tits was more strongly size-dependent when the prey consisted of conspicuous rather than cryptic larvae (Mänd et al. 2007).”
• Quantifying predation on folivorous insect larvae: the perspective of life‐history evolution (2011, methodology): “Warning coloration never gives full protection against all predators (Endler & Mappes, 2004; Mappes, Marples & Endler, 2005; Exnerová et al., 2007; Sandre, Tammaru & Mänd, 2007), and it may considerably increase the detectability of prey to the set of undeterred predators (Mänd et al., 2007).”
