Signal detectability and boldness are not the same: the function of defensive coloration in nudibranchs is distance-dependent

Aposematic signals visually advertise underlying anti-predatory defences in many species. They should be detectable (e.g. contrasting against the background) and bold (e.g. using internal pattern contrast) to enhance predator recognition, learning and memorization.
