In Batesian mimicry, a harmless species imitates a more dangerous one in an evolutionary “ruse” that affords the mimic protection from would-be predators. Now, researchers reporting in Current Biology ...
1) A mathematical model for Müllerian mimicry is derived based upon the previously proposed model for Batesian mimicry. The biological implications of the model are discussed, the most important of ...
Mimicry occurs when an animal evolves an appearance that is similar to another animal. Although this seems simple enough at first glance, natural selection has found a number of interesting ways to ...

Figure 1: Mapping of the polymorphic mimicry locus H in P. polytes. Figure 5: Knockdown of dsx in mimetic female hindwings of P. polytes. The rate of single-nucleotide variation in the P. polytes ...
Looking inedible is a great way to deter predators, but the warning signs must be learnt first. It seems that unpalatable species employ some unexpected strategies to make the education a quick one.
