Aposematismus
Aposematismus (Graece ἀπό 'ab', 'de' + σῆμα 'signum') est notio Alfredi Russel Wallace de coloratione monitoria, de usu signorum praecipue colorum ad insectatores aliosque hostes prohibendos adhibito. Quod verbum gregem describit accommodationum antipraedatoriarum in quibus signum monitionis consociatur cum inutilitate praedae praedatoribus futuris.

Aposematismus signa praeconii semper implicat, quae usitatam habere possunt adhibitionem colorum, sonorum, odorum, vel aliarum proprietatum quae distincte percipi possunt. Signa aposematica praedatori praedaeque prodesse possunt, quia ambo iniuriam futuram evitare possunt. Usitatissimi et efficacissimi colores sunt ruber, flavus, niger, albus.
