Primes

• Deterrence
  • In ecology, warning coloration, startle displays, and territorial vocalisations lead a predator to choose easier prey because the cost signal is credible

    This sourceTreats warning coloration (aposematism), startle, and related anti-predator signalling that lead predators to avoid defended prey — the (metaphorical) ecological extension of deterrence, where the 'calculation' is evolutionary rather than deliberate.
