- Role of different colours of aposematic insects in learning, memory and generalization of naïve bird predators (2009, unknown): “It seems that, as in the experiments carried out by Aronsson & Gamberale-Stille (2008), a particular colour overshadowed pattern and other features of aposematic prey in the avoidance-learning process.”
- Wild psychometrics: evidence for ‘general’ cognitive performance in wild New Zealand robins, Petroica longipes (2015, background): “…domesticus, birds attended to the coloration, rather than the black pattern, of an aposematic stimulus that contained both colour and pattern (Aronsson & Gamberale-Stille, 2008), while a study of ‘sameedifferent’ conditional discrimination in pigeons found that birds performed worse in…”
