Aposematismus (Graece ἀπό 'ab', 'de' + σῆμα 'signum')^[1] est notio Alfredi Russel Wallace de coloratione monitoria,^[2] 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.^[3]

Aposematismus signa praeconii semper implicat,^[4] quae usitatam habere possunt adhibitionem colorum, sonorum, odorum,^[5] 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.^[6]
