Visual Defenses Basically Operating by Various Mechanisms That Have an Aposematic Component

Several different visual defenses may serve as visual aposematism even though they mostly operate by other defensive, signaling, and physiological mechanisms. I give a short account of some of them here, since an in-depth treatment of each of them is given elsewhere in this book.
