Aposematic Coloration of Moths Decreases Strongly along an Elevational Gradient in the Andes
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Certain moths defend themselves with toxic substances, and they show this to predators with bright and contrasting coloration. At high elevations, fewer birds, bats and other predators are present that feed on these insects. We therefore expected a decreasing proportion of colorful t...
