Dear Editor,The population density of organisms often varies widely among species in natural environments, and this variation is associated with body size and energy requirements(White et al., 2007). For example, larg...
Chemical defenses are frequently accompanied by salient color patterns actively avoided by predators,a phe-nomenon referred to as aposematism.However,the production of both chemical defenses and pigments is costly,and...
