  2. Müllerian mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Müllerian_mimicry

    Müllerian mimicry was first identified in tropical butterflies that shared colourful wing patterns, but it is found in many groups of insects such as bumblebees, and other animals such as poison frogs and coral snakes. The mimicry need not be visual; for example, many snakes share auditory warning signals. Similarly, the defences involved are ...

  3. Mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry

    Mimicry is not limited to animals; in Pouyannian mimicry, an orchid flower is the mimic, resembling a female bee, its model; the dupe is the male bee of the same species, which tries to copulate with the flower, enabling it to transfer pollen, so the mimicry is again bipolar.

  4. Aggressive mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggressive_mimicry

    Aggressive mimicry stands in semantic contrast with defensive mimicry, where it is the prey that acts as a mimic, with predators being duped. Defensive mimicry includes the well-known Batesian and Müllerian forms of mimicry, where the mimic shares outward characteristics with an aposematic or harmful model. In Batesian mimicry, the mimic is ...

  5. Viceroy (butterfly) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroy_(butterfly)

    Based on phylogenic evidence, it is known that mimicry in the North American admirals was a driver of speciation. An essential condition for the evolution of mimicry was the presence and abundance of unpalatable models. Mimetic evolution also involved direct selection with the model acting as a "starting block" for the mimic to evolve against. [19]

  6. Emsleyan mimicry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emsleyan_mimicry

    The scenario for Emsleyan mimicry is a little more difficult to understand than for other types of mimicry, since in other types of mimicry it is usually the most harmful species that is the model. But if a predator dies, it cannot learn to recognize a warning signal, e.g., bright colours in a certain pattern.

    I seem to rank countries that speak my native language, English, on the lower end of the list. I think I find them less adventurous — less of a challenge.

  9. Aposematism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aposematism

    Aposematism is the advertising by an animal, whether terrestrial or marine, to potential predators that it is not worth attacking or eating. [1] This unprofitability may consist of any defenses which make the prey difficult to kill and eat, such as toxicity, venom , foul taste or smell, sharp spines, or aggressive nature.
