If the species was already unpalatable, predators might learn to avoid the cluster, protecting gregarious individuals with the new aposematic trait. [71] [72] Gregariousness would assist predators to learn to avoid unpalatable, gregarious prey. [73] Aposematism could also be favoured in dense populations even if these are not gregarious.

Cymbopogon nardus, common name citronella grass, is a species of perennial aromatic plant from the family Poaceae, originating in tropical Asia. C. nardus cannot be eaten because of its unpalatable nature and is an invasive species that renders pastureland useless, since cattle will starve even in its abundance.

Nardus stricta may also become a dominant species in habitats grazed by cattle or sheep because it is tough and unpalatable. [5] [6] It flowers from June until August. Apomixis is found to be common in this plant, with extensive colonies often proving to be a single clone.
In order to be unpalatable, the Heliconius butterflies use cyanogenic characteristics, meaning they produce substances that have a cyanide group attached to them, ultimately making them harmful. Research has found that the amino acids needed to make the cyanic compounds come from feeding on pollen. [ 30 ]
Synonyms; Pogonarthria orthoclada Peter Pogonarthria menyharthii ... It is a hard and unpalatable pioneer grass with very low grazing value. [1] References
The viceroy butterfly (top) appears very similar to the noxious-tasting monarch butterfly (bottom). Although it was for a long time purported to be an example of Batesian mimicry, the viceroy has recently been discovered to be just as unpalatable as the monarch, making this a case of Müllerian mimicry.
A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.
