Effects of pyrrolizidine alkaloids through different trophic levels (2011, neutral): “The first report that phytophagous insects are able to sequester PAs came 2 years later by Miriam Rothschild and collaborators for the larvae of the arctiid moth T. jacobaeae, which fed on J. vulgaris, and retained the alkaloids through all life phases (Aplin et al. 1968).”
The historical connections between the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest revisited (2017, background): “Understanding biogeographical patterns and evolutionary processes in the Neotropics has been a subject of great interest since the 19th century (Bates, 1862; Wallace, 1852).”
Learning about aposematic prey (2016, background): “At around the same time as Wallace, naturalists were also seeing cases of mimicry, where undefended or defended species shared the warning patterns of sympatric aposematic species (Bates 1862; Müller 1879).”
Female-limited mimetic polymorphism: a review of theories and a critique of sexual selection as balancing selection (2009, background): “…palatable prey species (‘mimics’) derive protection from visually hunting predators by their resemblance to toxic or otherwise defended and usually strikingly patterned species (‘models’) (Bates 1862; Eltringham 1910; Cott 1940; Wickler 1968; Rettenmeyer 1970; Edmunds 1974; Ruxton et al. 2004).”
