Aposematism is a term that was created by Edward Bagnall Poulton in his 1890 book The Colors of Animals, which deals with warning coloration. This aposematic signal serves as an alert to predators indicating a degree of prey danger. Aposematism develops due to genetic trends that are passed from offspring to offspring along with evolutionary factors that make these animals that have mutations in genes provide characteristic colorings with strong tendencies that are interpreted by predators as being a venomous animal. It is worth noting that not all animals possessing aposematical characteristics have some presence of ortication or poison or it is usually the predator is mistaken!
